The Israeli military says forces shot a Palestinian after he allegedly tried to stab a soldier in the West Bank.
The military says the Palestinian drew a knife at an army post before forces shot him. The Palestinian's condition was not immediately known.
Today's incident took place in Hebron, a West Bank city that is a frequent flashpoint of violence, where hundreds of Jewish settlers live in heavily guarded enclaves amid tens of thousands of Palestinians. The city has seen near-daily violence in recent days.
The incident is the latest in a five-week wave of unrest that has killed 55 Palestinians, 35 of them identified by Israel as attackers. Eleven Israelis have been killed.
