Khalil Ziadeh, an Arab-Israeli, is named by Hebrew media reports as the Palestinian shot dead by members of the IDF’s so-called area defense force in the West Bank village of Wadi Rahhal overnight, while Palestinian media identified him as Khalil Salem Khalawi, 37.
According to the Ynet news site, Ziadeh, 40, was originally an East Jerusalem resident who was currently living in Wadi Rahhal, the Ynet news site reports. Three other Palestinians were hurt in the clash.
According to Ynet, soldiers were deployed to the area after receiving reports rocks were being thrown at an Israeli vehicle. Settlers also arrived at the village and clashed with Palestinians.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry said earlier that casualties were the result of “settlers’ gunfire” in the village.
There was no immediate comment from Israeli authorities. The Israel Defense Forces, as of Tuesday morning, said it was still looking into the incident.
