Israeli troops shoot settler suspected of attempted knife attack on soldiers

Israeli forces shot and wounded a settler in the occupied West Bank after suspecting him of attempting a knife attack on soldiers. The man, in his early 20s, was shot at a petrol station in the Kedumim settlement and is reported to have suspected mental health issues. The incident highlights Israel's open-fire policy in the West Bank, which rights groups like B'Tselem describe as increasingly permissive and reckless. The Israeli army stated the shots were fired to "eliminate the threat" and that the circumstances are under review.
