Israeli forces kill Palestinian man in West Bank raid

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man during a raid in the occupied West Bank, his family said Friday as mourners gathered for the funeral.
Mahmoud Jihad Jarad, 23, was shot dead by troops during an overnight raid on Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern West Bank, official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
A family member, Iyad Abdulrahim Jarad, said his relative was shot after the Israeli army entered the camp.
Jarad's body was shrouded in a Palestinian flag, his head wrapped in a keffiyeh, as he was carried through the streets in a funeral procession.
The latest fatality brings to 214 the number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so far this year.
Meanwhile, Israeli police Friday downgraded a homicide charge against a Jewish settler suspected of killing a Palestinian in what the US has described as a "terror attack".
A new remand request filed by police showed Yehiel Indore was accused of "deliberate or depraved-indifference homicide" in the August 4 shooting of 19-year-old Qusai Maatan.
But unlike in previous remand requests in the case, he was no longer accused of acting out of "racist motivation" - an addendum which, under Israeli law, gives courts latitude to impose harsher punishment in the event of a conviction.
Washington has described the incident as a "terror attack by Israeli extremist settlers".
There was no immediate confirmation of the amended charge from police, headed by far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Police detained two settlers in last Friday's incident near Burqa village and said an investigation of the case was ongoing, though there has been no formal indictment.
Palestinians said the suspects were part of a group of some 150-200 settlers who threw rocks, torched cars and, when confronted by villagers, shot dead Maatan and wounded several others.
