A Palestinian assailant who, according to the IDF, charged at Israeli troops who were conducting an arrest operation in the West Bank refugee camp of Far’a, was shot and killed. The Palestinian attacker, who was identified as 33-years-old Mohammad Al-Salahi, charged at the soldiers while shouting “Allahu Akbar”, and did not heed calls to stop before getting shot. During the course of the arrest operation, IDF forces were further attacked with gunfire and explosive devices. No injuries were reported among the Israeli troops. According to Palestinian sources, the incident occurred in Al-Salahi’s home while IDF forces attempted to arrest him, but Israeli officials said Al-Salahi was not the target of the arrest operation.
