The Palestinian Authority acknowledged its responsibility for the death of a 19-year-old in recent clashes in Jenin, West Bank. Rafahbi al Salahbi was killed during confrontations between Palestinian security forces and armed groups. Initially, the security forces attributed the death to rioters, but later admitted fault after reviewing evidence. The rising tension in the West Bank follows arrests of activists and increased violence since the outbreak of war in Gaza on October 7, 2023, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.
