Israeli occupation killed a Palestinian overnight in the Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah in the West Bank, medical and security sources said Tuesday.

The 22-year-old man was killed when troops entered the camp to make an arrest, triggering clashes with residents, the sources said.

The Israeli army confirmed that its special forces had launched a raid on the camp and said that its troops responded when they came under fire.

The occupation military claimed in a statement that one of the "terrorists" had been hit while a spokeswoman said she did not know whether or not he had been killed.

The attack came with tensions running high in the occupied territories after months of unrest, and follows the killing of a senior Palestinian official by occupation forces last week.
