Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank amid a sharp escalation of violence, following the country's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's call this week to take over most of the territory. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the dead man as Ahmed Shehadeh, 57, saying he was killed on Friday by occupation bullets near the al-Murabba'a checkpoint south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli army has launched a raid on Ramallah and el-Bireh in the occupied West Bank, with the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reporting that at least 24 Palestinians have been wounded in the attacks. The wounded included a 12-year-old child, shot in the back near a vegetable market, the Wafa news agency, citing medical teams, reported on Tuesday.

We were surprised that the settlers started attacking the houses and burning the cars. The soldier came from that direction and shot him. He (the soldier) saw that he had nothing with him.

"There were wounded, dead, and martyrs," Ahmed al-Masri told The Associated Press on Sunday as he returned from one site empty-handed. "It's a trap."
