Palestinians are witnessing a bloody day in the occupied West Bank as three people are shot dead by Israelis.

Israeli sources say a man was shot dead by a settler in the city of al-Khalil, also known as Hebron.

Israeli forces have also shot a woman in the same city over claims that she attacked an officer.

Reports say the officer was lightly injured.

Elsewhere in east Jerusalem al-Quds, a 16-year-old boy was gunned down by Israeli soldiers after he allegedly drew a knife on them.

This brings the total number of Palestinians killed by Israelis to 42 since the beginning of October.
