Israeli troops shoot Palestinian man in West Bank ahead of Blinken visit

Israeli troops killed a Palestinian man on Monday, Palestinian officials said, hours before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives on a visit
dominated by a deadly shooting near a Jerusalem synagogue and growing violence in the West Bank.
The Palestinian health ministry said 26-year-old Nassim Nayef Salman Abu Fouda was shot in the head by soldiers in Hebron, a southern city in the occupied West Bank, early in the morning. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said he was shot by troops in his car at a checkpoint.
Israel is on high alert after a Palestinian opened fire in a street outside a synagogue on Friday, killing seven people in the worst such attack in the Jerusalem area for over a decade.
