Palestinian killed by Israeli fire amid series of reported West Bank settler attacks
A Palestinian was killed and several were injured amid multiple settler attacks across the West Bank on Wednesday, according to Palestinian media and video footage.
Reports said a Palestinian was fatally shot in the Tayasir area of the northern Jordan Valley amid a clash over a new wildcat outpost nearby. Tayasir is designated as Area A, where Israelis are prohibited from entering and the Palestinian Authority has full control under the Oslo Accords.
The dead Palestinian man was later identified as Alaa Khaled Subiah, who outlets described as a young man.
In a statement on the incident, the Israel Defense Forces said troops deployed to the area “following reports of an incident between Palestinians and Israeli citizens that included stone-throwing,” adding that an Israeli citizen and one Palestinian were taken for medical treatment.
“During an initial investigation, it turned out that a soldier on vacation shot a terrorist after he threw rocks at Israeli citizens, wounding one of them,” the IDF said, without specifying the injured Israeli’s condition.
“The case is being investigated and the details relayed to the authorized bodies.”
