Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in the village of Rummanah during a raid in the early hours of this morning. The town is located west of the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli military says that one of its soldiers was stabbed in Rummanah and the suspect was killed. An army statement on X said the soldier was taken to hospital, and described his injuries as moderate.
Israeli forces also arrested a number of Palestinians during a separate raid in the Qalandiya refugee camp in the Jerusalem governorate.

Israeli soldier succumbs to injuries sustained in stabbing attack in occupied West Bank
We have reported earlier, based on The Times of Israel newspaper, that an Israeli soldier was critically wounded in a stabbing attack in the occupied West Bank near the Gush Etzion settlement that also saw two suspected attackers killed.
Now, the newspaper has quoted Israel’s emergency services as saying that the soldier succumbed to his injuries.
Also, the update from the Israeli army confirmed the stabbing attack was carried out by “two terrorists” – a usual way for Israel to describe Palestinian suspects – who were killed by back-up security personnel at the scene.
The military statement published on Telegram said that Israeli soldiers are encircling the nearby Palestinian city of Halhul, north of Hebron, and establishing roadblocks in the area.
