The Israel Defense Forces says troops detained a Palestinian who allegedly opened fire at the Havat Yair outpost this morning.
According to the IDF, the gunman opened fire at the outpost and fled the scene. Troops found six shell casings in the area.
He was detained several hours later in the West Bank town of Qarawat Bani Hassan, and the gun used in the attack — a makeshift “Carlo” submachine gun — was seized, the IDF says.
Havat Yair was established illegally in 1999, but was legalized by Israeli authorities in 2021.
