Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed Thursday, April 27, 2023, a Palestinian youth after excessively opening fire at him near the Ariel Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank city of Salfit, for allegedly attempting to carry out a run-over and a stabbing attack.

Israeli media alleged that a Palestinian citizen arrived at the Getty Avishar crossroad near the Ariel settlement and attempted to carry out a run-over and stabbing attack.

Local sources said that the Palestinian youth killed is Ahmed Taha, from the village of Bidya, in the occupied Nablus district, in the northern West Bank.
