Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man the military said had fired on one of its posts in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, the latest in a series of deadly incidents over the past year.
The military said in a statement that soldiers conducting routine activity in the area responded with live fire and launched a pursuit when a driver shot at one of its posts near the settlement of Ofra.
During the pursuit, a suspect got out of the car and fired at the soldiers, who then shot and killed him, the military said. The Palestinian health ministry confirmed the death of the man but gave no details on the incident.
