RAS KARKAR, West Bank It seemed that Khaled Nofal’s luck had finally turned. After nearly a year of separation, he was preparing to reunite with his wife and young son, who had been stranded in Jordan since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
To inaugurate the new stage in their life, Nofal, 34, a clerk in the Palestinian Authority Finance Ministry, had rented a new apartment in Ramallah and started to move in. He’d bought new clothes for the first time in years. He was preparing to travel to the Allenby Bridge border crossing to meet them and bring them back to the West Bank and then the border closed.
An unarmed Palestinian man has been shot and killed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to the Israeli military and Palestinian media.
Israeli settlers opened fire and killed Khaled Nofal, 34, on Friday near the Palestinian village of Ras Karkar, northwest of the West Bank city of Ramallah, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
The Israeli military referred to the incident as a “terror attack”, but a spokesman was unable to explain how it came to that conclusion, given no weapons were found on the suspect or in his car.
The military said the suspect fought with a guard, who was also unarmed, before being shot and killed by another guard and a third individual.
