In the occupied West Bank, a clash between Israeli settlers and Palestinian teenagers resulted in the death of one teenager and the injury of another. Karim Sanad Raja Shalaldeh, a 17-year-old, was killed by Israeli settlers after throwing rocks at civilians who were in the area without authorization. The Israeli military responded by sending soldiers to the area, leading to injuries among the settlers and a security official opening fire.

In the northern region of the West Bank, another Palestinian, Fathi Khazem, was fatally shot by Israeli forces. The 58-year-old was reportedly attempting to stab an Israeli soldier during an overnight operation. Israeli authorities stated that Khazem, who was the father of Raed Khazem, had previously carried out a shooting attack in Tel Aviv in April 2022. No Israeli soldiers were injured in the incident.
