No Palestinian source confirmed the Israeli claims. A video published last month has shown an Israeli soldier planting a knife next to the body of a dead Palestinian. Palestinians cast doubt of the Israeli narrative of stabbing and ramming attacks, accusing Israeli soldiers of carrying field executions against them.
Dozens of Palestinians have been shot dead since October 2015, after Israeli soldiers claimed they were attempting to carry out attack against them.
