IDF: Palestinian shot dead in West Bank after attacking soldier with knife
An Israeli soldier was fatally stabbed in the West Bank on Friday, according to reports from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The assailant, a Palestinian man, attacked the soldier with a knife during an operational activity in the Jenin area. In response, soldiers opened fire and the assailant was killed, with no IDF injuries reported.
Separately, international organizations and governments have condemned various actions taken by Israeli forces in the region. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières criticized the IDF for closing investigations without opening criminal inquiries into strikes in Gaza, while Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar condemned Israeli strikes in Gaza, urging compliance with a cease-fire agreement.
Meanwhile, Israeli left-wing activists displayed a banner in Tel Aviv calling for a Palestinian state, which was swiftly removed by mall management.
