The Israeli military early on Tuesday said an attacker was shot dead after firing at soldiers at a checkpoint near the village of Tayasir in the northern West Bank.
“Following the initial report, a terrorist fired at soldiers
at a military post in the area of Tayasir.
“The soldiers eliminated the terrorist during exchanges of
fire,’’ the military said on Telegram.
According to Israeli media reports, seven people were
injured in the incident.
Two of them were in critical condition; the Times of Israel
reported citing first responders.
The Israeli army had stepped up operations against militants
in the northern West Bank since January.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in the process, including
minors.
Israel took over the West Bank and East Jerusalem following
the Six-Day War in 1967.
Today, around 700,000 Israeli settlers live there among
three million Palestinians.
The Palestinians claimed that the territories were a state
of their own, with East Jerusalem as its capital, NAN reports.
