Palestine [ The Palestine Information] A Palestinian man has fatally shot an Israeli soldier and critically injured another near a settlement in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank, apparently in retaliation for an Israeli military raid on the Jenin refugee camp, where five minors were among 12 Palestinians killed.
The Israeli military said in a statement that its forces stopped a car for inspection close to the Kedumim settlement, which is located near the city of Qalqilya, on Thursday afternoon, when its occupant fired at them and fled.
The forces then chased the Palestinian gunman and “neutralized” him, the statement added. Medics at the scene near Kedumim said the Palestinian had been killed.
The Israeli regime’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said the soldier was declared dead at the scene following resuscitation efforts.
This incident is the most recent in a series of Palestinian retaliatory operations that have been carried out this week.
