Man shot dead in Jericho by Israeli forces, Palestinian health authorities say
Palestinian health authorities say Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man during raids in the West Bank city of Jericho and nearby refugee camps.
The IDF said it was not involved in the incident, and directed The Times of Israel to ask Border Police.
A Border Police spokesman did not have an immediate comment on the incident when contacted.
Since October 7, troops have arrested some 3,850 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,650 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, more than 480 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time.
