1 Palestinian killed, 5 injured in Israeli army, occupier attacks in West Bank

A Palestinian was killed and five others injured Monday in Israeli army and occupier attacks in the occupied West Bank provinces of Hebron and Jenin, according to Palestinian officials and medical sources, Anadolu reports.

Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle carrying three Palestinians near Bani Naim, east of Hebron, killing one and injuring the other two.

The Palestinian General Authority of Civil Affairs identified the man killed as Hossam Alaa al-Din Abdul Jabbar Walad Ali, 38, and said Israeli forces withheld his body.

The Israeli army claimed that the three Palestinians had attempted to carry out a car-ramming attack against soldiers in the Bani Naim area.

In a separate attack, three Palestinians were injured when Israeli occupiers assaulted them while they were harvesting olives near Yabad, southwest of Jenin.
