Palestinians reported Sunday that a Palestinian man was shot and killed by settlers in a dispute over an olive grove near the village of Akrabe in the West Bank.
According to the report the man was taken in a Red Crescent ambulance to a nearby junction roadblock where they told soldiers that the man had been shot by settlers. However, there were also conflicting reports that the man was shot by soldiers.
Earlier in the morning a Palestinian man was lightly wounded by settlers in another dispute over an olive grove. The settlers said that they had only fired into the air.
Elsewhere, a member of the Islamic Jihad was shot dead in Jenin by Israeli troops.
On the political front, European Union envoys Javier Solana and Miguel Moratinos had meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials in an attempt to revive the peace process. Palestinian security chief Mohammed Dahlan said he and the envoys were both trying to stop Palestinian bomb attacks inside Israel. (Albawaba.com)
