A Palestinian man was killed by Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the man was shot and killed in Hajeh village, east of Qalqilya. Several people were also wounded in the incident.
The incident occurred amid increased tensions and violence in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the evacuation of certain settlements in the occupied West Bank that were established without government approval, reportedly under US pressure.
The outposts to be evacuated were established by settlers without the state's official authorisation, and typically consist of caravans with a small number of settlers. According to The Times of Israel, two settlers were arrested over a separate incident in Qusra.
