Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man during a raid in Jenin, West Bank, on Friday, according to Palestinian health officials. Fathi Zidan Hazem, 58, was shot by Israeli troops after attempting to stab a soldier, the Palestinian health ministry stated. His body remains in Israeli custody.
The incident occurred in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, near the city of Jenin. Israeli military officials confirmed the shooting, citing the man’s attempt to attack a soldier. Palestinian authorities have called for an investigation into the killing.
Separately, European leaders and Canada have criticized Israel’s expansion of settlements in the West Bank, including the controversial E1 project near Jerusalem. The E1 plan has drawn international condemnation for its potential to fragment Palestinian territory.
