Israeli Army Kills Palestinian at Checkpoint in the West Bank

Palestinian officials announced that a Palestinian driver was shot dead by the Israeli army at a checkpoint near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli army stated in a report that a man arrived in a stolen vehicle at the "Rantis" checkpoint, attacked a soldier, and attempted to seize his weapon during the vehicle inspection, prompting another soldier to open fire on the suspect, killing him. The army confirmed it is reviewing the circumstances of the incident, which resulted in one soldier being slightly injured and taken to the hospital for treatment. A spokesperson for the Hamas movement, which governs the Gaza Strip, stated that the incident "indicates that resistance in the West Bank is present and ongoing to counter the crimes of the occupation."
