The IDF says in a fresh statement that security cameras spotted a suspect arriving from Beit Rima toward Ateret.
Fighters from the Paratroopers Brigade’s 101st Battalion were dispatched to the scene and detained him for a security inspection, during which he stabbed two soldiers and was subsequently shot dead, the military says.
It adds that the military has imposed a siege on nearby Palestinian towns and put up roadblocks.
