IDF troops shot dead a Palestinian and injured four others during a raid in the West Bank city of Nablus today, Palestinian health officials say.
The slain Palestinian is identified by the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry as 26-year-old Naif Firas Ziad Samaro.
The military in a statement says that during an operation in Nablus, several Palestinians hurled stones at troops.
“The forces responded with crowd dispersal measures and later with live fire to remove the threat and disperse the gathering,” the military says, adding that “several hits were identified.”
