The IDF says troops killed a Palestinian who was throwing stones at motorists on a highway in the West Bank this evening.

Soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade’s 890th Battalion were on patrol near the Palestinian town of Azzun when they identified three suspects hurling stones, the army says.

The military says the soldiers opened fire, killing one and wounding a second. The third suspect was detained and taken for questioning, according to the IDF.
