A Palestinian official said the 38-year-old man suffered from mental illness, and several unsourced Israeli news websites reported that no weapons were found on his body.
“(Israeli) forces identified a suspect running toward an IDF (Israel Defence Forces) post in Silwad,” the military spokeswoman said. “Upon the suspect’s advance, the forces shot the suspect, resulting in his death. The incident is currently being reviewed.”
Asked whether the Palestinian had been armed, she said that “the details are still being checked.”
On Wednesday, an Israeli soldier fatally shot a Palestinian motorist who had stabbed him and thrown rocks from his car at a military vehicle in the West Bank.
one must go on mesiras nefesh to protect your assailant in Israel. The opposite from the whole world. When will the Israelis learn that the blood of the Arabs are holier then theirs.
Crazzy Israeli Government- NO WORDS!!!!
“A Palestinian official said the 38-year-old man suffered from mental illness”
Either he was a stupid terrorist, or his mental illness was that he wanted to commit suicide by IDF. Either way, not the IDF’s fault.
