WEST BANK (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s troops have shot and injured a Palestinian man in the southern part of the West Bank as tensions continue in the occupied Palestinian territories as part of the aftermath of U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of al-Quds as the regime’s capital and relocation of the U.S. embassy to the occupied city.
The regime’s media outlets asserted that the unidentified knife-wielding Palestinian sought to stab a settler and a Zionist trooper at Elias Junction and near the entrance to the Kiryat Arba settlement in al-Khalil, located 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of al-Quds, on Monday afternoon.
The trooper fired towards the alleged assailant and "neutralized" him, the Israeli military said in a statement.
No Zionist troops or settlers were injured in the attempted attack.
The Palestinian man, who was apparently from the nearby town of Bani Na’im, was transported in a jeep to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in al-Quds. He will then be taken to custody for questioning.
