Summary
Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man near Ganim, east of Jenin, after what the army said was an attempted vehicular attack; the military reported no Israeli casualties.
The Palestine Red Crescent said troops blocked its medics from reaching the man, according to Wafa, adding a humanitarian dispute to the incident.
In a separate West Bank attack, a 30-year-old Israeli settler was fatally shot near Halamish after a gunman fired from a vehicle and fled on foot.
Israeli forces later detained the suspect at a hospital where he had sought treatment for injuries sustained while escaping, the military said.
Benjamin Netanyahu ordered more troops, arrests and offensive operations in the area, and Wafa said forces then sealed entry and exit points around Ramallah and el-Bireh.
