Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man during confrontations with stone-throwing protesters in the occupied West Bank<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old man was shot in the chest in al-Arroub refugee camp, near Hebron city, Palestinian health officials said.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear if he had taken part in protests marking the 15th anniversary of the death of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An Israeli military spokeswoman said troops were sent into Al-Arroub in pursuit of local Palestinians who had thrown rocks at cars on a nearby road, and opened fire when confronted by “a large number of rioters”, some wielding petrol bombs.<\/p>\n

The fatal shooting was under investigation, she added.<\/p>\n

The West Bank, among territories where Palestinians seek statehood, has seen simmering violence since US-brokered peace talks with Israel<\/a> stalled in 2014.<\/p>\n

Medics also reported Israeli use of live fire in clashes at Fawwar, south of Hebron, on Monday.<\/p>\n

Hamas, the leaders of the Gaza Strip, prohibited a Fatah event to mark the death of Arafat<\/a> in the coastal Palestinian enclave.<\/p>\n

Hamas and Fatah, which Arafat led, have been deeply divided since the 2007 near civil war in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

Arafat’s death<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Arafat died on November 11, 2004, at a French military hospital after suffering a sudden illness following three years of Israeli military siege around his Ramallah headquarters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The official cause of death was a large haemorrhagic stroke, but no autopsy was carried out and senior Palestinian leaders withheld his medical records.<\/p>\n

Swiss scientists who conducted tests on samples taken from Arafat’s body found at least 18 times the normal levels of radioactive polonium in his remains.<\/p>\n

A 108-page\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0by the University Centre of Legal Medicine in Lausanne, obtained by Al Jazeera, found unnaturally high levels of polonium<\/a> in Arafat’s ribs and pelvis, and in soil stained with his decaying organs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
