An Israeli is shot dead in the West Bank

A 30-year-old Israeli man was killed near the Neve Tzuf settlement north of Ramallah, hours before the Yom Kippur holiday, widely considered the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Israel's military said the suspected attacker opened fire from a vehicle and fled on foot. After a search by security forces, the military said the man, who was injured while fleeing, was detained at a hospital where he had sought care.

The Samaria regional council said the killed man, Netanel Shakron, was a settler who had been bathing at a spring ahead of Yom Kippur.

It was the second time an Israeli civilian had been killed in a confrontation with a Palestinian this year in the West Bank, according to the U.N.

Separately, the military said it killed a Palestinian man who attempted to carry out a ramming attack against soldiers at an intersection near Jenin in the northern West Bank, less than an hour later. The military said it was searching for another man who was in the car.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement called the attacks “despicable" and instructed the military to expand operations in the West Bank.

Tensions have surged in the West Bank, and extremist Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians have increased exponentially, emboldened by right-wing, ultra-nationalist politicians in Israel's government. Earlier Sunday, Israeli troops carried out a large counterterrorism operation in the northern West Bank town of Al-Mughayyir. Palestinian officials said at least 28 people were detained.

Iran's top diplomat will stop in Qatar on way to US

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will stop briefly in Qatar before going to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.

Tehran has said it is awaiting a U.S. response to conditions it conveyed through Qatar for ending the war. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei told Al Jazeera on Saturday the conditions include ending the war on all fronts, releasing Iranian assets seized by the U.S. and ending the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.

Araghchi is among Iran’s senior officials given visas by Washington to attend the U.N. gathering, along with President Masoud Pezeshkian, despite the war.

CIA chief visits Egypt and meets with its president

Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe was in Egypt meeting with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, the president's office said.

The statement said el-Sissi expressed support for a deal to resolve the Iranian crisis and ensure the freedom of shipping navigation. He also rejected any aggression against Arab countries. Last week, Egypt's president hosted Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, who was seeking support against attacks by neighboring Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

El-Sissi also urged for the full implementation of the second phase of the U.S. ceasefire plan for Gaza. Egypt has been a key mediator and borders the Palestinian territory.

Iran closes a French language center in Tehran

Iranian authorities said they closed a French language center affiliated with the French Embassy in Tehran, accusing it of operating without a license and engaging in activities against national security.

The Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news agency said the Tehran prosecutor’s office ordered the closure after repeated warnings. It alleged the center used language courses as a cover for projects including identifying and networking with Iranian elites and facilitating their departure from the country. It offered no evidence.

There was no immediate embassy comment.

6 French nationals on trial in Iraq over alleged IS ties

Six French nationals in Iraq suspected of being members of the extremist Islamic State group have stood trial, Iraqi judicial and security officials told The Associated Press.

The officials, who said it could take several proceedings before a verdict is issued, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media.

The six are among 47 French nationals held in Iraq who were among thousands of people with suspected IS links and who were repatriated from neighboring Syria early this year.
