Israeli forces killed four Palestinians in several incidents in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, Palestinian and Israeli officials said, the latest in a month-long series of deadly clashes between security forces and Palestinians.
Two brothers were killed near the city of Ramallah and a third man was shot in the head in the city of Beit Ummar, near Hebron, in clashes with Israeli forces, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The Israeli army confirmed the two clashes and said it was aware of reports of two Palestinians being killed near Ramallah and was investigating.
Later on Tuesday, the Israeli military said a female soldier was moderately injured in a violent attack around the settlement of Kochav Yaakov, near Ramallah. The alleged Palestinian attacker was shot by police and later confirmed dead by a doctor at a Jerusalem hospital.
The Israeli military has cracked down on militant groups and protesters across the West Bank following a series of attacks by Palestinians in Israel this year.
Last week, new Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed right-wing extremist Itamar Ben-Gvir as security minister with powers over the West Bank police under a coalition deal being worked out to form a new government.
