A Palestinian suspect who allegedly was planning to throw rocks at a highway in the West Bank was shot by Israeli troops a short while ago, the military says.

Troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit had spotted the suspect near the village of Sinjil as he was attempting to hurl stones on a nearby road, the military says.

The IDF says the suspect threw two bottles with “dangerous material” in them at the forces, and the soldiers returned fire.
