October 31, 2016: Mohammad Turkman, 25, was killed by Israeli soldiers close to Beit El settlement and security center, near Ramallah in the West Bank, after he opened fire at Israeli soldiers and wounded three, one seriously.
The Israeli army said the soldiers shot and killed the Palestinian, after wounding three of them, one seriously, at the Beit El road block.
The army added that the soldiers, manning a military tower close to the Annexation Wall, at the entrance of Beit El, came under fire from the Palestinian officer, before shooting him dead.
The officer has been identified as Mohammad Turkman, 25, from Qabatia town, south of the northern West Bank city of Jenin.
