The IDF says troops shot dead two Palestinians who were hurling Molotov cocktails at the West Bank settlement of Karmei Tzur this evening.
Troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit had been waiting in an ambush when they identified several suspects setting fire to tires and throwing firebombs at the settlement, the army says.
“The troops opened fire and eliminated two terrorists and neutralized another terrorist,” the IDF says, adding that the forces began searches for additional suspects.
No other injuries are reported.
Firefighters are meanwhile working to extinguish a blaze outside the settlement sparked by the burning tires, the military adds.
