Israeli gunfire kills 1 and critically wounds another in West Bank, Palestinian health ministry says

Israeli gunfire killed one person and critically wounded another in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, on Monday, the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health said.

The ministry said the other person had a critical chest injury "due to occupation forces' gunfire in Nablus."

For their part, Israeli police say that security forces killed what they described as a “terrorist” in Nablus in the occupied West Bank during an operation to arrest a wanted man. It said border police, together with Israel Defense Forces (IDF) entered Nablus to arrest a wanted person in a statement Monday. As the arrest was made, “violent disturbances against the forces began” and a man who threw an explosive device at the Israeli forces was shot dead.

“In addition to this, another person who disrupted order was shot in the leg after endangering the security of the forces.”

Security forces also opened fire on a “suspicious vehicle” that drove toward the forces at speed and did not respond to their calls, resulting in the injury of the driver of the vehicle.
