Israeli forces fatally shot a Palestinian man in the West Bank on Wednesday. Raed Jadallah, 39, was crossing a military checkpoint early in the morning in Beit Ur al-Tahta, west of Ramallah, when Israeli forces shot him, the Palestinian Authority’s WAFA news agency reported.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incident. Israeli and Palestinian authorities usually offer divergent accounts on Israeli forces shooting Palestinians in the West Bank, with Israel often accusing the victims of attacking soldiers.
