STORYLINE:
Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman in the occupied West Bank, who they said had thrown rocks at them and tried to stab them.
No Israeli soldiers were wounded in Tuesday’s incident, which occurred at a traffic junction near an Israeli settlement.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the woman as Amana Yacoub, 30, from the nearby town of Salfit.
There has been a surge in violence in the West Bank since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Rights groups say Israeli forces often use lethal force when their lives are not in danger, while Israel says its troops have to make split-second decisions when operating in a dangerous environment.
