The Palestinian health ministry says Israeli forces have shot dead a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank after the army reported he allegedly carried out a car ramming, AFP reports.

The Israeli military said soldiers “neutralised” the driver who rammed the car into a military post near Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron.

An AFP journalist saw Israeli forces surrounding a vehicle with soldiers and military vehicles deployed in the area.

The Palestinian health ministry said Mohammed Masalmeh was shot dead by Israeli troops at the camp entrance.

Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported one person was moderately wounded.
