    Un Palestinien a tenté de poignarder dimanche des soldats israéliens à un barrage en Cisjordanie occupée avant d’être abattu par des militaires, a indiqué l’armée israélienne.

    « Un Palestinien armé d’un couteau a attaqué des soldats à l’entrée de Naplouse », la grande ville du nord de ce territoire occupé depuis près de 50 ans par Israël, a affirmé l’armée dans un communiqué. « Des soldats ont tiré sur l’assaillant et l’ont tué », a-t-elle ajouté.

    Le Palestinien tué a été identifié par le ministère palestinien de la Santé comme Rami Aouartani, 31 ans.

    Depuis octobre, les violences dans les Territoires palestiniens et en Israël ont coûté la vie à 219 Palestiniens, 34 Israéliens, deux Américains, un Érythréen et un Soudanais, selon un décompte de l’AFP.

      “At approximately 14:45, on Sunday, 31 July 2016, while I was crossing Howarah checkpoint, south of Nablus, in my private car, I saw an Israeli soldier running towards me. While the soldier was running, he bog down and fell into the ground. His weapon dropped on the other side. In the meantime, I saw another Israeli soldier, who was in the checkpoint cabin, shooting a person standing in front of the cabin. As a result, the person fell on his face on the ground. The wounded person had previously stepped out of his old grey Skoda car and the driver’s car door was open, indicating he was ordered by the soldiers to step out. I saw nothing in the wounded person’s hands, and none of the soldiers was around him. After that, I slowly walked as the soldiers freaked out following the shooting. The distance between me and the wounded person was only 3 meters. I saw him moving. He was bold and waring a colourful shirt. After knowing he is alive, I called a PRCS ambulance. Few minutes later, an Israeli military jeep arrived and 4 Israeli soldiers stepped out of which. They closed the checkpoint and I then crossed the checkpoint, heading to the city.”
