Israel says troops in West Bank kill Palestinian attempting ramming attack

Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian who tried to ram a tractor into soldiers and civilians in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, the Israeli military said. "An additional soldier who was positioned on top of the roof of a nearby building identified the threat to the civilians who stood nearby and, in response, fired at the terrorist." Hebron is the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank with a population of some 200,000. Footage circulating on social media showed Israeli soldiers pulling a man's body out of a small tractor standing in a street.
