IDF says West Bank terror suspect killed ‘on way to carry out attack in Israel’
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The IDF and Shin Bet say a Palestinian who was heading to carry out an imminent terror attack was killed by troops of the elite Duvdevan unit a short while ago in the West Bank.
Muhammad Jaber, a resident of the West Bank city of Jenin, was killed by Duvdevan commandos in the town of Zeita, close to the West Bank security barrier.
Jaber was killed while “en route to Israeli territory to carry out a suicide attack in the immediate time-frame,” the IDF and Shin Bet say.
Officials say Jaber was armed with a firearm and a primed explosive device.
