Israeli army unit storms hospital and kills Palestinian
Hassan Jehad al-Baw, 23, died in the West Bank city of Hebron's al-Ahli hospital on Friday afternoon.
He was shot in the heart by Israeli forces during a protest earlier in the day.
Baw's death came just hours after 18-year-old Mahmoud al-Shalaldeh died from gunshot wounds sustained during clashes with Israeli soldiers in Hebron a day earlier.
Shalaldeh's cousin was also killed in a raid on the al-Ahli hospital by Israeli forces on Thursday.
"The situation is very bad here," Issa Amro, coordinator of the Hebron-based Youth Against Settlements activist group, told Al Jazeera by phone. "People are very angry."
Suspect 'fled the scene'
Clashes have spread throughout Hebron and the surrounding villages, according to local media reports.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, an Israeli military spokesperson said that earlier in the afternoon a gunman opened fire on a group of Israeli settlers near Otneil, an illegal settlement in the Hebron area of the West Bank. Two of the settlers were killed and one injured.
The Israeli army spokesperson said the settlers were killed when "shots were fired at their vehicle," adding that the suspect "fled the scene".
In breach of international law, an estimated 547,000 Israelis live in Jewish settlements and outposts across the West Bank, including in occupied East Jersualem, according to the Israeli rights group B'Tselem.
Friday's killings come on the heels of more than six weeks of unrest, with protests against Israel's ongoing occupation spreading throughout Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Israeli forces have responded with force, using live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas and stun grenades against protesters.
Since October 1, Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 83 Palestinians, including unarmed protesters, bystanders and alleged attackers.
During that period, 12 Israelis have been killed in shooting or stabbing incidents carried out by Palestinians.
