The military says it shot dead a Palestinian “terrorist who was planning on harming IDF soldiers” during a raid in the al-Faraa refugee camp in the northern West Bank this evening.

The soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit opened fire on the suspect, killing him, the IDF says, adding that no troops were injured.

The IDF does not elaborate on how the man was attempting to harm the soldiers.

The Palestinian Authority health ministry identifies the slain man as Abd al-Rahman Ahmad Abbas Darawsheh, 26.
