BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian Sunday after he allegedly carried out a suspected vehicular attack that left three Israelis injured near the Tapuah Junction south of Nablus, Israeli media reported.
Israeli media reported that in addition to the three Israelis injured in the alleged attack, a fourth Israeli, 23, was shot and injured in the leg during the incident, and border police are reportedly investigating as to whether or not she was shot by police when they were shooting at the Palestinian.
Two of the four Israelis have been evacuated via helicopter to a nearby hospital, one of which was in critical condition.
The Palestinian has been identified as Sulaiman Aqel Muhammad Shahin , 22, from al-Bireh City in Ramallah.
According to a Ma’an reporter near the scene, Israeli forces closed off Huwwara and Tapuah checkpoints south of Nablus following the suspected attack. The checkpoints control one of the main routes that connects the northern occupied West Bank to the central and southern districts.
An Israeli police spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment.
