A 16-year-old Palestinian attacked and seriously injured an Israeli man with a knife at an intersection in the West Bank on Tuesday. Israeli soldiers nearby then shot the teenager.
The victim of the knife attack was injured in the shoulder and was taken to hospital, the media reported, citing the emergency service.
Violent tensions again and again
The incident took place a few kilometers south of Nablus in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. In particular, violent tensions between militant Palestinians and Israeli settlers continue to erupt in the area.
Since the war between Israel and the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip began on October 7 last year, the situation in the West Bank has deteriorated significantly. Since then, 403 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank during Israeli military operations, clashes or their own attacks, according to the Health Ministry. There was also increased settler violence against Palestinians.
