Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man they say was throwing a firebomb at a vehicle driving on a West Bank highway late on Sunday.

The killing occurred near the city of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, and is the latest in a growing wave of violence that has erupted during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
