STORYLINE:

Mourners gathered on Sunday for the funeral of a man shot by Israeli soldiers near the West Bank city of Hebron.

Hundreds took part in the funeral procession for Wajdi al-Jaafreh in Tarqumiya in the southern West Bank.

The Israeli army said in a statement that a Palestinian vehicle attempted to run over a soldier at a military checkpoint southwest of Hebron and the soldier fired toward it.

The latest outbreak of violence began in east Jerusalem last month, when Palestinian protests and clashes with police broke out in response to Israeli police tactics during Ramadan and the threatened eviction of dozens of Palestinian families by Jewish settlers.

A focal point of clashes was the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a frequent flashpoint that is located on a hilltop compound that is revered by both Muslims and Jews.

Hamas fired rockets toward Jerusalem late Monday, triggering the Israeli assault on Gaza.

The turmoil has also spilled over elsewhere, fueling protests in the occupied West Bank and stoking violence within Israel between its Jewish and Arab citizens, with clashes and vigilante attacks on people and property.

At least 181 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 52 children and 31 women, with 1,225 wounded.

Eight people in Israel have been killed, including a five-year-old boy and a soldier.
