Soldiers have shot and killed a Palestinian who tried to throw explosives at a West Bank checkpoint, the Israeli military said.
A spokesman said the Palestinian arrived at the checkpoint and charged at the soldiers while wielding a pipe bomb and yelling “Allah Akbar” – “God is great” in Arabic.
The military said soldiers ordered the Palestinian to stop, then opened fire after he ignored them.
Another Palestinian was shot at the same checkpoint a week ago after charging the position with a glass bottle.
The military said soldiers initially thought he was carrying a bomb. The case is being investigated.
