Troops kill Palestinian hurling firebombs at military post in West Bank, IDF says
2022-03-07
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says troops shot and killed a Paleostinian who allegedly hurled Molotov cocktails at a military post near the West Bank town of Abu Dis, near Jerusalem.

According to the IDF, troops identified two suspects hurling Molotov cocktails in the area, and opened fire.

The second suspect expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, the IDF says.
Update from The Times of Israel at 6:20 p.m. ET:
Israeli troops shot and killed a 16-year-old Paleostinian on Sunday night in the West Bank when he threw Molotov cocktails at a military post, the army said.

The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry identified the teenager as Yamen Nafiz Jaffal. He was shot in his hometown of Abu Dis on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

According to the Israeli army, Jaffal threw Molotov cocktails at a military observation post, alongside another Paleostinian. Soldiers spotted the two during a "pre-planned operation" inside the Paleostinian town, the army said.

Six Paleostinians have been killed in violent mostly peaceful confrontations with Israeli troops over the past two weeks.
