A Palestinian man was shot to death in a clash with settlers near the West Bank town of Duma, Palestinian news outlets report.
Hebrew-language outlets had reported earlier on fighting in the area south of Nablus, with two Israelis injured by stones.
Palestinian media names the slain man as Thameen Dawabshe, 35, citing the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank Health Ministry.
Official PA news outlet WAFA quotes Duma’s mayor saying that the clash erupted in response to earthworks on village land carried out by Israelis in recent days.
A video purportedly from the incident appears to show a man with a rifle open fire as a group of Palestinians near him. At least two gunshots can be heard in the short clip.
There is no immediate comment from Israeli authorities.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
