In an update, the IDF says that one of the Palestinians killed by troops in Hebron this evening was a passerby.

Only one Palestinian was in the vehicle that accelerated toward soldiers operating near a checkpoint in the West Bank city. The IDF says the troops fired on the Palestinian in the car, killing him.

After a preliminary investigation, the IDF says it emerged that an uninvolved Palestinian civilian who was at the scene was also shot dead amid the incident.
