A Palestinian man was shot dead today by soldiers in the occupied West Bank, after earlier threatening a policeman with a knife, according to a statement from the Israeli army.
In a video released on social media platforms, a soldier can be seen repeatedly shooting at the Palestinian, even as he was on the ground.
The Reuters agency emphasizes that it is unable to confirm the authenticity of the video.
According to a statement from the Israeli army, the Palestinian was driving a vehicle with which he attempted to run over pedestrians and police officers. He then, the statement said, abandoned it and tried to attack a police officer with a knife, when he was shot by a soldier.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 39-year-old Ahmed Yaqub Taha was killed by Israeli soldiers, without confirming the “attempted attack” version.
Since the beginning of the year, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has escalated, claiming the lives of at least 99 Palestinians, 19 Israelis, a Ukrainian woman and an Italian, according to an AFP count citing official Israeli and Palestinian sources.
