A Palestinian man was injured on Tuesday, November 19, when Israeli Border Police shot him near the military checkpoint at Shuafat camp, north of occupied Jerusalem. The authorities claimed he was attempting a stabbing attack as he tried to pass through the lanes designated for vehicles at the checkpoint.

The young man was left lying on the ground, covered in blood, with no immediate information available about his identity or health condition. Israeli police and military forces reportedly left him bleeding without providing medical assistance for hours before an ambulance eventually transferred him to the hospital.

In response to the incident, Israeli forces shut down the military checkpoint, obstructed the movement of local residents, and carried out a raid on the Shuafat camp.

The Israeli press reported that "Border Police officers fired at a suspicious man at the Shuafat checkpoint north of Jerusalem.They say officers noticed the man hiding a bag near the crossing before advancing on foot through a vehicle lane. Despite repeated orders to stop, the suspect continued moving toward the checkpoint. Officers fired at his lower body, neutralizing him. The suspect, who sustained moderate injuries, was taken by medical teams for treatment."
