The IDF says troops shot and killed a man who hurled a “suspicious object” at a military checkpoint near the village of Burin in the northern West Bank.

According to the army, the assailant ignored soldiers’ calls to halt, leading them to open fire under arrest procedure protocols.

No Israeli forces were injured in the incident.
