The IDF says it raided the home of the Palestinian terrorist who infiltrated the West Bank settlement of Negohot this morning.
Troops operated in the village of Fuqeiqis, where Muhammad al-Suweiti lived. Suweiti was shot dead after infiltrating Negohot while armed with a knife.
According to the military, at the home of the terrorist, troops located a makeshift firearm and other military equipment, with which he “planned to carry out acts of terror against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.”
The IDF says that “in light of the findings,” Suweiti’s brother was detained at the scene and handed over to the Shin Bet security agency for interrogation.
