Palestinian shot as he rushes West Bank checkpoint

Security forces shoot and arrest a Palestinian at a West Bank checkpoint near the Palestinian city of Tulkarem.

The man reportedly ran at a guard manning the Te’enim checkpoint near the West Bank settlement of Avnei Hefetz.

There were no injuries to Israelis in the incident.

The incident comes amid high tensions on Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip where tens of thousands of Palestinians clashed violently with the IDF on Friday.
