Israeli Settler and Palestinian Driver Killed in Separate West Bank Shootings
The deaths come amid a rapid escalation of violence in the occupied territory, a France 24 correspondent said.
An Israeli settler was fatally shot in the occupied West Bank, according to France 24. Separately, Israel's military said it killed a man who attempted to ram his vehicle into troops elsewhere in the Palestinian territory.
The two incidents occurred as violence in the West Bank continues to escalate rapidly, France 24 reported.
France 24 correspondent Noga Tarnopolsky said Israeli military authorities overseeing the West Bank have repeatedly warned the Israeli government that the situation is "basically out of control."
