Israeli police say officers have shot and killed a Palestinian after he stabbed a police officer in the occupied West Bank. Police said the officer was lightly wounded in the attack Tuesday and identified the Palestinian as a 19-year-old from the Gaza Strip.
A number of Palestinians were killed, including a baby boy and his grandmother, in separate Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Monday.Palestinians inspect the damage at a site hit by an Israeli bombardment on Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip , Saturday, July 13, 2024. Israel said it targeted Hamas’ shadowy military commander in a massive strike Saturday in the crowded southern Gaza Strip that killed at least 71 people, according to local health officials.
Police said the officer was lightly wounded in the attack and identified the Palestinian as a 19-year-old from the Gaza Strip. It wasn’t immediately clear what he was doing in the West Bank. Earlier Tuesday, the Israeli military said Palestinians opened fire on a car in the West Bank, lightly injuring a number of Israeli civilians. In a separate event in the territory, the military said forces opened fire on a “suspicious vehicle” that turned out to belong to an Israeli. Two Israeli civilians were lightly wounded as a result of the apparent mistaken fire, the military said..
Later on Monday, in a separate incident off the same coast, the MT Chios Lion, a Liberian-flagged and Marshall Islands-owned oil tanker, was attacked by an uncrewed Houthi aerial vehicle, which “impacted on the port side causing some damage and light smoke,” the the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.Late Monday, the Houthis claimed responsibility for the attacks on Bently I and Chios Lion, and the U.S.
The Houthis maintain that their attacks target ships linked to Israel, the United States or Britain, as part of the rebels’ support for the militant group Hamas in its war against Israel. However, many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the war — including some bound for Iran, which backs the Houthis.
