Overview
- Israeli forces said they opened fire after an attempted car-ramming at a checkpoint in the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday, killing two Palestinians.
- The military first described both as involved in the attack before later stating that Ziad Na'im Jabara Abu Dawud was not part of it.
- Palestinian reports say Abu Dawud was a 55-year-old municipal sanitation worker and allege he was left to bleed before his body was handed to the Red Cross.
- The suspected driver was killed and was identified by the Palestinian Health Ministry as 17-year-old Ahmed Khalil Al-Rajabi, while the IDF said a soldier suffered minor leg injuries.
- Palestinian sources said Abu Dawud's body was taken to Hebron's government hospital and that Israeli forces retained the suspected attacker's remains, with independent verification not yet available.
