Palestinian shot after stabbing soldier in West Bank

A Palestinian man wearing a T-shirt with the word “press” in large letters stabbed and wounded an Israeli soldier before being shot dead by troops.

The stabbing, the latest in a month-long spate of attacks, occurred on the sidelines of clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinian stone-throwers after Friday prayers in the West Bank city of Hebron.

The incident heightened concerns among journalists about their safety.
