IDF says Palestinian shot after throwing explosive at troops
The IDF says a Palestinian man who was shot earlier by troops near Nablus had thrown an explosive device at soldiers while running toward them.
The army says a group of dozens of Palestinians was making its way toward troops at the Evyatar illegal outpost when one charged at them and threw a suspicious object which exploded.
A soldier fired first in the air and then toward the suspect, who was hit and critically injured.
There were no Israeli casualties, the army says.
