IDF soldiers killed a Palestinian terrorist and wounded another during an early Tuesday morning raid in the Kalandiya refugee camp, just north of Jerusalem.
An IDF Special Forces unit was on its way to arrest a wanted Palestinian when it came under gunfire. At one point a terrorist threw an explosive device at the soldiers, who fired back in response and killed the assailant. The dead terrorist was identified as Abdallah Aduan, 21.
Another terrorist involved in the assault was shot and wounded.
The wanted terrorist was eventually arrested, and all soldiers returned safely.
An IDF spokesman announced that the incident would be investigated.
The IDF sent further forces to the scene to prevent violence during the terrorist’s funeral.
The Kalandiya checkpoint and surrounding area are known as frequent flashpoints between Israeli security forces and Palestinian rioters and terrorists.
The IDF further announced the arrest of seven other Palestinian terror suspects overnight. Six were arrested on suspicion of taking part in rioting and attacks on civilians and security forces. Arrests were made in Shechem (Nablus), Kalandiya, the village of Azariya and Jerusalem, as well as in Hebron, where three suspects were arrested and taken for questioning.
Relentless Vigilance
Israel’s security forces are operating relentlessly against Palestinian terrorists, who work around the clock to harm Israeli citizens.
On Monday a security official announced that Israeli security forces were successful in exposing and foiling a massive suicide attack that was planned to be carried out in the heart of Tel Aviv.
