A Palestinian man was killed in an Israel Defense Forces raid in the Nur Shams refugee camp, close to the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem, according to unconfirmed reports.
The official Palestinian news agency says doctors at the Thabet Thabet Government Hospital in Tulkarem pronounced the man’s death after he was shot by troops while taking shelter on the roof of his house.
The man is named in the report as Nur Shams resident Saed Abu Alawiya.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
Since October 7, troops have arrested some 3,700 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,600 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, more than 450 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time.
