Two Palestinians were killed while attempting to snatch a soldier’s gun in the West Bank city of Nablus earlier today, the military says.
Four soldiers were also hurt in the incident.
According to the IDF, the incident began as several suspects were being questioned by troops amid an ongoing counter-terror operation in Nablus.
During the questioning, two Palestinians tried to snatch a gun from one of the soldiers. Several bullets were fired from the gun as it was being grabbed by the Palestinians, moderately injuring a soldier and lightly injuring three others.
The other troops then returned fire, killing the two.
Footage from the incident shows one of the men approaching troops with his hands raised and lifting his shirt, before a soldier kicks him. The soldiers are then seen attacking and scuffling with the man, as gunfire is heard.
