Israeli soldiers operating in the area “eliminated the terrorist who carried out the attack and injured several Israeli civilians,” the army says.
The IDF says “the terrorist was eliminated immediately after carrying out the attack, and IDF troops recovered the stolen weapon.”
Palestinian health officials reported that four Palestinians were killed and four were injured in the incident.
One Israeli was killed, and at least two others were injured by the gunfire carried out by the Palestinian who snatched the weapon.
