The IDF says that troops of the Nahal Brigade killed a Palestinian suspect overnight after he hurled explosives at troops operating in the village of Silat al-Harithiya, near Jenin.
Two other suspects were injured in the exchange of fire, the IDF says, adding that no injuries were sustained by Israeli troops.
The military says that the incident occurred amid a counterterrorism operation in the northern West Bank in cooperation with the Shin Bet and Israel Police.
Elsewhere in the West Bank, security forces say they arrested eight wanted individuals and seized two Carlo submachine guns. The detainees and weapons have been handed over to the Shin Bet and Israeli police for further investigation, according to the statement.
The IDF says that it will continue its counterterrorism operations in order to ensure the security of Israeli citizens.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
