A Palestinian man who allegedly opened fire at Israeli troops guarding a checkpoint near an illegal outpost in the northern West Bank on Tuesday has turned himself in, the Israel Defense Forces says.

No soldiers were hurt in the drive-by attack near Homesh.

The military says the wanted man turned himself in earlier today.

The army also says Military Police arrested a soldier Tuesday over suspected looting of Palestinian property during a raid in the Hebron area.

He has been ordered to remain in jail until Monday. His identity is currently barred from publication.
