Israeli soldiers shot dead an unarmed Palestinian who had entered an army base in the northern West Bank this morning, Palestinian medics said.
The army confirmed soldiers had shot an unarmed Palestinian in the Dotan military base as it was being dismantled, saying he had failed to heed orders to stop. Palestinian sources said the man had been scavenging for scrap metal.
The incident occurred in an area of the West Bank where Israel evacuated and demolished four Jewish settlements last month as part of a Gaza withdrawal.
