Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 17-year-old Palestinian who drove a car toward them at a checkpoint in the West Bank city of Hebron, as well as a 55-year-old bystander. The military initially described both victims as attackers but later clarified that only the teenager was involved in the incident, while the older man was an uninvolved municipal street cleaner. The Palestinian health ministry identified the victims as Ahmed Khalil Al-Rajabi and Ziad Naim Abu Dawood. The motive behind the teenager's actions remains unclear, and no group has claimed responsibility. Violence in the West Bank has escalated this year, with increased Israeli military operations, settler attacks, and Palestinian assaults on soldiers and civilians.
