The IDF says troops killed a masked Palestinian suspect who was intending to hurl rocks at Israeli motorists on the Route 60 highway in the northern West Bank.
Troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit had been waiting in an ambush when soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted a masked Palestinian holding a rock in his hand approaching the highway at the so-called Huwara bypass section.
The troops opened fire on the suspect, killing him, the army says.
