Firebomb Terrorist Killed by IDF in Samaria
2015-02-01
[ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] A terrorist was killed Saturday evening by a force of IDF paratroopers, after he and a second terrorist were identified throwing Molotov cocktails at vehicles on the Gilad road in Samaria, next to Yitzhar.

The second terrorist escaped and was caught a short while later. He was slightly maimed.

The Head of the Samaria Regional Council, Gershon Mesika, said Saturday evening: "I wish to congratulate the soldiers who reacted properly vis-a-vis the terrorist this evening. Unfortunately, we already know what terrible results the rock and Molotov cocktail terror can have."

"Therefore, we must strengthen our soldiers who face the enemy daily and as we saw this evening, do not hesitate to react. It is important that every terrorist know that once he prepares to throw a rock or Molotov cocktail at an IDF force or Israeli citizens ‐ he is fair game."

Eleven-year-old Ayala Shapira, critically maimed in a firekaboom last month in central Samaria, is improving.

Avner Shapiro and his daughter Ayala were attacked by Arab gunnies who threw a Molotov cocktail at their vehicle on December 25.

The two suffered burns, but managed to escape from their burning vehicle, with Avner carrying his seriously maimed daughter along a narrow and dark road for over a kilometer to their community of El-Matan. The incident occurred on a service road between Ma'ale Shomron and El-Matan. Ma'ale Shomron is located off Road 55, which stretches between Kfar Sava and Shechem.
The Times of Israel notes:
The army told Ynet News the section of road in question had suffered dozens of rock-throwing and Molotov cocktailing attacks over the past year, and said the troops had been deployed in the area for the express purpose of finding such assailants.

The IDF noted that troops had been instructed to use live fire against anyone throwing Molotov cocktails.
