ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Two Palestinians killed in the last few hours in the West Bank. The Ministry of Health of the Palestinian National Authority states that the 17-year-old Mohannad al-Zughayar was killed at night by the Israeli military in Hebron, south of the West Bank. Local sources quoted by the Palestinian press agency Ma’an say that troops killed al-Zughayar inside a car in a field west of Hebron. Al-Zughayar had previously spurned a car and wounded a soldier, according to the Israeli Defense Forces. The attacker has accelerated with his vehicle to the troops stationed at the Yehuda junction, near the city of Hebron in the West Bank, wounding a soldier, who was taken to a hospital for care. Other soldiers at the intersection opened fire on the car while fleeing, hitting it, said the soldiers last night. This morning, the Idfs announced that the boy was spotted during the night in Hebron, inside the car used in the attack. As they tried to arrest him, the suspect “has tried to escape by endangering the fighters, the forces reacted with the shots and he was eliminated”, according to the army.
Two Israeli soldiers were also slightly injured after a Palestinian tried to stab them near the settlement of Ateret, not far from Ramallah, in the West Bank. The Israeli Defense Forces report that the man tried to stab them after they stopped him and then the military shot him killing him.
