Israeli troops kill Palestinian who ran toward them, army says

Israeli troops gather at the scene where a Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces in the West Bank village of Silwad near Ramallah.

Silwad: Israeli soldiers on Friday shot and killed an apparently unarmed Palestinian who ran toward their position in a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank, and the incident was under review, a military spokeswoman said.

A Palestinian official said the 38-year-old man suffered from mental illness, and several unsourced Israeli news websites reported that no weapons were found on his body.
