A Palestinian Arab terrorist opened fire on Wednesday evening towards the town of Psagot in the Binyamin region. There were no injuries.
At the same time, Palestinian sources reported that a 26-year-old Palestinian Arab resident of the Al-Am'ari camp in Ramallah was shot and killed by IDF fire. He is believed to be the terrorist who carried out the attack, was shot by the IDF and fled. He was later pronounced dead.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said, “A short while ago, an IDF force entered the outskirts of the village Al-Bireh in Judea and Samaria, to search for suspects who were spotted approaching the community of Psagot.”
“During the troops searches for the suspects, an assailant fired at the force from a passing vehicle. The troops responded with fire and hit the assailant. No IDF injuries were reported.”
“Following, a riot was instigated with the participation of dozens of Palestinians surrounding the troops, who responded with riot dispersal means,” the IDF statement said.
On Tuesday, a terrorist attempted to commit a car-ramming attack near the community of Mevo Dotan in Samaria.
The terrorist approached a manned military post in his vehicle, accelerating as he neared the soldiers at the post. IDF troops fired at the vehicle to stop it and neutralized the terrorist.
The terrorist's car then crashed into a military vehicle that was parked near the post, and both vehicles burst into flame. No IDF soldiers were reported injured.
On Saturday, a 65-year-old Palestinian Arab woman stabbed an Israeli in the city of Hebron, near the Cave of the Patriarchs.
The terrorist was neutralized and then arrested.
The victim, a 38-year-old Israeli, fought with the terrorist who stabbed him until Border Police officers who were in the area arrived and neutralized her.
He was lightly injured, suffering injuries to his face but fully conscious.
