Friday’s attempted “stabbing attack” by a Palestinian was fatally shot by Israeli forces, raising the total number of fatalities in the conflict this year to 100.
Yazan Omar Jamil Khasib, 23, was killed in the occupied West Bank in Ramallah “after the occupation (Israel) opened fire on him at the northern entrance of Al-Bireh,” according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Soldiers saw a suspect and requested him to identify himself, according to the Israeli army. When the suspect approached the authorities with a knife, they started firing.
