An off-duty Israeli soldier fatally shot a 35-year-old Palestinian man, Thameen Dawabsheh, during clashes in Duma, West Bank. The incident occurred while the soldier provided security for settler land preparation. The soldier claimed he fired after Palestinians threw stones and attempted to seize his weapon. Another Palestinian, Abdallah Atiat, was also killed by IDF troops in Jericho earlier this week, prompting questions about the circumstances. These incidents follow a recent pattern of violence in the West Bank.
