Israeli forces have fatally shot a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank after the army claimed he fired on soldiers. According to the Israeli military, the incident occurred in Deir Nidham, a town west of Ramallah. Soldiers stopped a suspicious motorist on Monday for questioning, but the individual exited the vehicle, threw a grenade at the soldiers, and opened fire. In response, the soldiers fired back, neutralising the assailant, as stated in an official military statement.
The Palestinian health ministry confirmed the death of Bilal Qadah, 33, near Deir Nidham but provided no further details. Qadah, a resident of the village of Shuqba near Ramallah, was married and had three children, according to the Palestinian news outlet Wafa.
