"Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank amid a sharp escalation of violence, following the country's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's call this week to take over most of the territory. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the dead man as Ahmed Shehadeh, 57, saying he was killed on Friday by occupation bullets near the al-Murabba'a checkpoint south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank."
"Further south, troops carried out multiple raids in Bethlehem, with soldiers entering the Khalayel al-Louz area southeast of the city and setting up a military checkpoint, according to Wafa. The news agency also reported raids on the villages of Artas and al-Ubayyat, where soldiers tore down posters of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces. In parallel, Israeli settlers wielding knives and sticks stormed the village of Khallet al-Dabaa in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron, injuring 20 people, including a three-month-old infant."
