West Bank man killed at protest
Another "badly aimed" tear gas canister.

A Palestinian has died after he was hit by a tear gas canister during a protest against the West Bank barrier, protesters and medics say.

The Israeli military said it was investigating the incident in the West Bank town of Bilin.

It said tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets were used to disperse rock-throwing rioters.

Last month a US protester was left in a coma after he was hit in the head by a tear gas canister in a nearby village.
