Israeli forces shot and killed a 29-year-old man in the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus. They then withheld his body, Palestine’s Wafa news agency reported.

Abdul Karim Muhammad Salem Khader was killed on Tuesday after Israeli forces besieged his home and targeted it with an Energa antitank rifle grenade. According to security sources, Israeli forces used a bulldozer to demolish sections of his home after raiding Aqraba and surrounding the building.

An Israeli army spokesperson claimed that the army killed an armed man who tried to attack soldiers.

In Dura and Hebron, Israeli forces arrested at least 10 people, including Fayez al-Jabari and his son and two former prisoners who had been released, Ayoub al-Awawda and Montaser Shadid, Wafa reported.
