WAFA cited eyewitnesses as saying that Israeli forces opened fire at a man near the Ein Sinya checkpoint after he allegedly attempted to carry out a stabbing attack.
Israeli occupation forces closed the checkpoint in the aftermath of the shooting and prevented Palestinians from crossing.

This route is considered one of the few available routes that Palestinians have been using to enable them to enter or exit the city of Ramallah.
