# Israel-Palestine security and settlement tensions > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/israel-palestine-security-and-settlement-tensions > Updated: 2026-08-21T09:44:00.000Z. Sources: 14. Developments: 2. Tensions in the West Bank have escalated following an incident in Jenin where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shot and killed a man. The IDF identified the individual, later named as 58-year-old Fathi Zaidan Hazim, as a terrorist who attempted to attack a soldier with a knife. While the military reported no injuries to its personnel, a local witness provided a conflicting account, alleging that Hazim was shot multiple times after refusing orders to raise his hands. This incident occurs alongside broader IDF efforts to conduct internal reviews of wartime incidents through the General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism (FFAM). This mechanism is used to establish facts for potential criminal proceedings, having investigated approximately 150 incidents since the start of the war in Gaza. In a separate diplomatic development, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy issued a joint statement demanding that Israel halt its E1 settlement project. The four nations warned that the expansionist plans of the Netanyahu government could weaken Israel’s international standing and obstruct regional peace efforts. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-21: IDF investigates wartime incidents and West Bank shooting The IDF is reviewing over 150 wartime incidents, including the fatal WCK convoy strike, amid ongoing military operations and a fatal shooting of a Palestinian man in Jenin. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/idf-investigates-wartime-incidents-and-west-bank-shooting ### 2026-08-21: Middle East conflict impacts Strait of Hormuz and West Bank policy Tensions persist in the Middle East following US-Israel strikes on Iran.
