Zionist forces kill another Palestinian over alleged stabbing attack

Israeli soldiers have fatally shot a Palestinian following an alleged stabbing attack in the occupied West Bank, the military says.

According to a statement released by the Israeli military on Monday, the incident occurred in the vicinity of Kiryat Arba, a hardline Israeli settlement, near the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron) earlier in the day.

The Israeli army added that the victim, while “wielding a knife,” had approached an Israeli military checkpoint in the area when he was shot dead by the Israeli live fire. It further identified him as Wael al-Jabari, 27. No Israelis were hurt in the incident, the army added.

The Israeli military regularly opens fatal fire on Palestinians, accusing them of attempting to carry out stabbing attacks against its forces.

Human rights groups have repeatedly criticized the Tel Aviv regime for its shoot-to-kill policy as a large number of the Palestinians killed at the scene of attacks did not pose serious threats to Israelis.
