Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIDF troops killed a Palestinian who allegedly attempted to attack troops with a sharp object in the West Bank last night.
The incident took place in the village of Jit.
According to the IDF, as the troops were operating in Jit, “a terrorist tried to attack the force with a sharp object and posed a threat.”
In response, the soldiers opened fire, “neutralizing the terrorist,” the army says. No troops were hurt.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said this morning it received the body of a man from Israeli forces at the entrance to Jit.
The man’s cousin identified him as Jassem al-Siddeh, 22. He tells AFP that the army came at dawn and shot him in his home, adding that he “was not wanted and had no involvement in any activity.”
