The IDF says troops shot dead a Palestinian who stabbed them, and arrested another, in the West Bank town of Silwad overnight.
According to the military, during a counterterrorism raid in Silwad, troops entered a building where several Palestinians were residing. One of the Palestinians physically assaulted the soldiers, while a second stabbed them.
“The troops responded with fire,” the military says, adding that the suspect who stabbed the soldiers was killed and the second was “neutralized and arrested by the forces.”
The two troops were taken to a hospital in light condition and their families were notified, the army adds.
