A Palestinian who allegedly hurled an explosive device at Israeli soldiers during a raid in the northern West Bank village of Silat al-Harithiya a short while ago was shot dead, the military says.

The IDF says the soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit were not hurt by the bomb.

“The soldiers responded with fire and eliminated the terrorist,” the army says.
