The perpetrator of Tuesday’s deadly shooting attack at an IDF checkpoint near the northern West Bank village of Tayasir is identified by Israeli defense officials as Muhammad Daraghmeh.
Palestinian media reported yesterday that Daraghmeh was the shooter, though Israeli defense authorities could not confirm until now.
Muhammad is the brother of Ahmad Daraghmeh, the late commander of a local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group in the area, known as the Tubas Battalion. Ahmad Daraghmeh was killed by the IDF in February 2024.
