Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jewish man who was shot dead rushing Israeli security forces at a Jerusalem area checkpoint reportedly left a suicide note describing his mental illness and a deep psychological distress.
According to reports in Hebrew-language media, the 20-year-old from the Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood in Jerusalem left the note with a friend several days ago.
Police said the unnamed man rushed the Hizme checkpoint with a knife and tried to stab a member of the security forces.
Troops opened fire as they believed they were in “immediate and concrete danger,” police said in a statement.
He died of his injuries shortly after.
