| [IsraelTimes] The Israeli military said early Tuesday morning that a Paleostinian man had been shot, later dying of his wounds, while trying to stab IDF soldiers who were conducting an arrest raid in the West Bank overnight. Troops from the elite Duvdevan unit were on an operation in the Paleostinian village of Far’a, northeast of Nablus, to arrest wanted suspects, the military said. The Paleostinian, identified in the Paleostinian media as 32-year-old Muhammad a-Salahi, rushed the soldiers with a knife in hand and did not heed calls to stop, according to the IDF. The troops "began an arrest process, and when the suspect kept advancing toward them, he was shot and was later pronounced dead," the IDF said in a statement Tuesday. A-Salahi had served time in Israeli jail, according to Israeli news site Walla. According to the military, explosives devices were thrown at the troops and they were shot at during the raid. There were no injuries to the soldiers. Four Paleostinian suspects were incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! in the operation and transferred to the Shin Bet for questioning. In all, nine Paleostinians were arrested by Israeli security forces throughout the West Bank overnight.
