Israeli Forces' Deadly Violence Escalates in Jerusalem and West Bank.

An Israeli soldier shot dead a Palestinian man in the West Bank, hours after a policeman killed a medical student at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa compound. The Palestinian Authority identified the man killed in the West Bank as Mohammad Ra’ed Baradiyah, 24. Witnesses said Baradiyah was shot in his car near the town of Beit Ummar and that medics were denied access to the wounded man. Earlier on Saturday, Israeli police said they shot dead another Palestinian man at the Chain Gate, an access point to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem.
