The IDF says weapons were found in the car of the Palestinian terrorist who was killed last night after shooting and seriously wounding an Israeli man — as well as hitting two Palestinians — in the West Bank city of Qalqilya.
The military publishes an image of the arms found in the vehicle used by Hamas operative Tariq Daoud, 18, who had been jailed by Israel previously.
According to Ynet, an initial investigation has indicated the Israeli man, in his 60s, had entered Qalqilya to get his car serviced.
The IDF releases a quote by the commander of the force that pursued and eventually killed Daoud.
“A short while after receiving the report, we hurried to the scene, sought contact, encountered the terrorist who was in a vehicle, opened fire at close range and eliminated him,” says Col. Netanel Shamaka, commander of the IDF’s Ephraim Regional Brigade.
He wishes the wounded Israeli a speedy recovery, and reiterates that entering the Palestinian-controlled Area A in the West Bank is illegal for Israeli citizens.
