A Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces on Monday, in an alleged knife attack in the occupied West Bank.
According to the Israeli army, and reported by Anadolu News Agency, a military statement stated; "The Palestinian attempted to stab an Israeli soldier at Gush Etzion junction north of Hebron."
"The Israeli soldier opened fire and neutralised the assailant. No injuries were reported among Israeli soldiers."
The Palestinian Health Ministry has identified the dead Palestinian as Faleh Jaradat from northeast of Hebron city.
In recent months, dozens of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces for allegedly attempting to carry out stabbing or car-ramming attacks.
Meanwhile, Palestinian rights activists have over the years accused the Israeli forces of deliberately killing Palestinians with no risk to their lives.
