Friday, an armed Israeli Occupation settler fatally shot a Palestinian close to ad-Dhahiriya city in Hebron, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

The young man was shot near the Teneh Omrim settlement after allegedly attempting to carry out a stabbing attack, claimed Hebrew media.

Notably, no reports of injuries or casualties were reported.

The circumstances surrounding the alleged stabbing attempt remain 'unclear and largely based on the Israeli version of events,' reported the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
