Alwaght- An Extremist Israeli Settler has fatally shot a Palestinian Saturday at a farm in the occupied West Bank.
The man identified as Tareq Odeh Maali, 42, was killed near the town of Kufr Nimeh, west of Ramallah.
Israel regime alleged Maali attempted to attack the settler.
An AFP photographer saw Israeli forces preventing a Palestinian ambulance from accessing the site.
According to Israeli anti-settlement movement Peace Now, the farm is known as a wildcat settlement, an outpost not recognized by Israeli regime.
All settlements are deemed illegal under international law.
The shooting brings to 18 the number of Palestinians killed so far this month in the West Bank, according to an AFP tally which includes militants and civilians.
The inauguration in December of the most right-wing government in Israeli regime's history, led by Netanyahu, has sparked fears of a military escalation in the Palestinian territory occupied by Tel Aviv since the 1967 Six-Day War.
The majority of the 18 Palestinians killed this year were shot dead by occupation forces.
Violence this month adds to a toll that left more than 150 Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank last year, the highest annual toll since United Nations records began in 2005.
