Clash in West Bank Leaves One Palestinian Dead After Israeli Fire

 

A Palestinian argues with Israeli troops standing guard during a weekly settlers' tour in Hebron, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.


Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank after troops opened fire on individuals who were reportedly throwing stones at them near the village of Luban al‑Sharqiya.

According to the Israeli military, soldiers were operating along a main road when several people began hurling stones, prompting the troops to respond with live fire. Three individuals were struck.

Palestinian officials identified the man killed as 26‑year‑old Khattab Al Sarhan and reported that another person was wounded. Local authorities said the area had already been tense, with Israeli forces blocking the main entrance to the village and several surrounding roads the previous day.

The incident adds to the ongoing volatility in the West Bank, where frequent clashes between Israeli forces, settlers, and Palestinians have continued to escalate.
