A Palestinian arms dealer involved in an attack on troops was killed by Israeli commandos in the West Bank town of Yamun earlier today, the IDF says.
Soldiers of the Duvdevan Unit attempted to detain Mohamed Zayed, who was hiding in Yamun.
“During the attempt to apprehend him, he attempted to attack the soldiers and was eliminated on the scene,” the military says.
According to the IDF, Zayed was an arms dealer, and he provided the weapon used in an attack last year in which two soldiers were severely wounded.
