According to Palestinian media, Israeli soldiers surrounded the house of the family of the deceased during the raid. The Israeli forces shot the man dead, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. The reason for this was initially unclear. According to the report, another man was seriously injured by shots to the chest. Israel's army said on request that it was investigating the reports. The information could not initially be independently verified.

The already tense situation in the West Bank has worsened significantly since the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, which left 1,200 people dead and triggered the Gaza war. Since then, according to the Ministry of Health in Ramallah, 746 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military operations, armed clashes and attacks by extremists.
