PNN/ Nablus/

A Palestinian man was shot by the IOF after allegedly attempting a stabbing attack near Nablus on Monday.

The shooting happened at the Huwwara checkpoint south of Nablus, where many Palestinians and Israeli settlers drive through every day.

A spokesperson from the Israeli army says that the Palestinian man pulled out a knife and was about to attack an Israeli soldier, when the soldier opened fire, shooting the allegedly assailant dead.

On Sunday, a 16-year-old Palestinian girl was run over by an Israeli settler, under the pretext that she was about to carry out a stabbing attack. The settler then shot and killed the girl.
