A Palestinian man was killed after being shot in the chest by Israeli soldiers in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

According to local media, Khaled Walid Tayeh, a 22 year old from Iraq al-Tayeh, died at a nearby hospital on Tuesday from gunshot wounds, while 6 other Palestinians remain critically injured.

More than 40 other people were injured in the conflict, which broke out when Israeli soldiers entered the city in search of a suspect involved in the stabbing of an Israeli settler earlier this week.
