Israeli forces kill multiple Palestinians in West Bank clashes.

Israeli forces shot dead a 23-year-old Palestinian man who they claimed was approaching them with a knife drawn, near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. This killing adds to the current round of bloodshed and puts 2023 on track to be one of the worst years for violence in the Palestinian territories for years, with at least 84 Palestinians killed so far this year. Last year, more than 170 Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, making it one of the deadliest years in the occupied territories since 2004.
