The slain Palestinian was killed over allegedly carrying out a stabbing and car-ramming operation that killed three Israeli settlers and injured three more near the Israeli settlement of Ariel, to the northwest of Salfit.
The Palestinian youth attacked Israeli settlers at two different locations in the Ariel settlement area near the Palestinian city of Salfit, Israeli forces claimed, adding he then fled the scene in a vehicle and caused a car crash, before he got out and was shot dead by Israeli soldiers.

Souf is a resident of the Haris town in the Salfit governorate.
Following the incident, Israeli occupation forces reportedly raided Souf’s hometown. The forces then stormed his family house and besieged its residents inside before attacking and interrogating them.
It is worth mentioning that the operation comes amid a spike in attacks carried out by Israeli settlers and forces against Palestinians across the occupied territories as Souf is the 198th Palestinian to be killed by Israeli occupation forces and settlers since the start of the year, according to the health ministry.
