Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian man who allegedly threw an explosive device at them during a raid in the Askar refugee camp near Nablus in the northern West Bank. The man, identified as 19-year-old Hassan Ahmed Jamil Moussa, was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident occurred amid ongoing violence in the West Bank, which has intensified since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023. According to local health authorities, over a thousand Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank during this period, while dozens of Israelis and security personnel have also lost their lives in related attacks and clashes.
