| [IsraelTimes] Troops opened fire earlier this evening on a suspect who was holding a Molotov cocktail, the IDF says. According to a military statement, the troops were operating in the area of Zababdeh, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank. The forces “identified a terrorist holding a Molotov cocktail, intending to throw it at the troops to cause them harm,” the IDF says. Troops opened fire and hit the suspect, the military adds, without elaborating on the suspect’s condition. No Israeli troops were wounded. The WAFA Palestinian Authority news agency claims that the person hit by IDF live fire was a 13-year-old Palestinian. That does not make it less an act of terrorism. WAFA says that he was shot in the chest and taken to a hospital. |
