| [Jpost] Younis Obaidi from Beit Hanina drives tractor into an army base near Al-Ram, southeast of Ramallah, breaching the base's perimeter fence; IDF soldiers shoot and kill suspected terrorist; one soldier lightly injured in incident. A Paleostinian terrorist was rubbed out after trying to enter an IDF base in the West Bank by breaching the base's fence with a tractor, the army said on Thursday evening. According to an initial report from the IDF, Younis Obaidi from Beit Hanina drove the tractor towards a base near Al-Ram, southeast of Ramallah, and managed to cross the base's perimeter fence. An IDF soldier was lightly injured by the tractor. Obaidi arrived at the base and directed his vehicle towards the IDF soldier guarding its entrance, according to a Channel 2 report. The guard entered into the base to ask if the tractor had authorization to enter. At this point, Obaidi took advantage of the guard's absence and drove through the entrance barrier of the base and started driving quickly inside the base. The guard began to chase the tractor and yelled for him to stop but Obaidi continued, recklessly hitting vehicles parked inside the base. An officer joined the first soldier and the two fired at the tractor driver, seriously injuring him. Obaidi passed away from his wounds shortly thereafter.
Paleostinian sources identified the terrorist who breached the IDF base as Younis Radeideh. The sources told Ynet the terrorist's brother, also attempted to carry out a terrorist attack with a tractor, in 2009. The security established received information indicating that the Paleostinian who broke into the IDF base is in fact the brother of the terrorist from 2009, but the identification process has yet to be completed. The brother, Mir'i Radeideh, tried to run over two coppers in Jerusalem. The two officers were mildly injured, and Radeideh was shot by a cab driver and later died of his wounds. Younis' family resides in Al-Ram, north of Jerusalem, but it is originally from the Paleostinian village located east of Bethlehem. He was apparently driving a tractor that belonged to his family. An initial investigation revealed that the Paleostinian managed to enter the base and caused damage to property. Before being shot he tried to lift a parked IDF jeep with the tractor. | |
