The IDF says a Palestinian gunman who approached an army post near the West Bank city of Nablus was shot dead by reservists of the 8109th Battalion.
There are no injuries in the attack, the IDF says.
The Palestinian apparently approached the post with at least one weapon drawn. His weapons were seized and handed over to security authorities for investigation.
Contrary to initial reports, the IDF says the gunman only approached the army post, and did not manage to open fire.
