A Palestinian man, in his 20s, carrying a knife was shot dead on Friday morning in a West Bank settlement by "Israeli" guards who claimed he was planning to carry out an attack, an "Israeli" occupation military spokesman said.

"Israeli" media quoted residents of the Beit Hagai settlement near Al-Khalil as saying the community's emergency squad was dispatched to the area after learning a Palestinian had "infiltrated" the settlement.
