The Palestinian Authority health ministry says it has been notified by Israeli authorities of the death of a Palestinian man who allegedly tried to stab soldiers near the West Bank village of Husan earlier.

The ministry names him as 35-year-old Rami Rashid Al-Batha.

The IDF said earlier that troops shot a Palestinian man who tried to stab them near Husan.

The suspect’s body is apparently being held by Israeli authorities.
