Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation forces have summarily executed a Palestinian civilian in the occupied West Bank city of Al-Khalil on Friday, local sources reported.

The occupying soldiers shot dead a Palestinian citizen, not yet identified, after he purportedly tried to carry out a stabbing operation against Israeli colonial settlers of the Tana Omrim colonial settlement.

The Israeli occupation forces employ the pretext of "attempted stabbing attacks" as a means to justify the use of lethal force against Palestinians.
