The IDF says troops shot dead a masked Palestinian who was hurling stones at Israeli motorists in the West Bank a short while ago.
According to the military, troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit identified three Palestinians who were throwing stones at cars on the Route 60 highway, near the village of Lubban ash-Sharqiya.
“The soldiers opened fire at the terrorists and eliminated a masked terrorist,” the IDF says, adding that a second suspect was hit, and that troops have launched a pursuit after him and the third Palestinian.
Earlier this evening, the Palestinian Authority’s Wafa news agency reported that Israeli settlers attacked Lubban ash-Sharqiya.
