Jerusalem CNN —A Palestinian man was critically injured Monday after he was shot from behind by Israeli security forces in the occupied West Bank, according to an eyewitness and video from the scene.
The witness said the man was unarmed and video of the incident obtained by CNN appears to show he was not carrying anything in the moments before security forces opened fire.
The incident took place as clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli forces in the Palestinian town of Beita, in the Nablus governorate, during a raid by Israeli forces searching for “a wanted suspect,” Israel Border Police said.
“One man was shot in the foot, and we attempted to rescue him from the middle of the street.
Also on Monday, an Israeli woman was killed and a man was injured after being shot at while driving near the city of Hebron.
