Yasser Fuzi Shuweiki was shot dead today in Hebron as he tried to stab IDF tropps. No servicemen were injured in the incident.
THE IDF soldiers spotted the man armed with a knife as he ran toward them. The soldiers pushed him back as he tried to run into a nearby civilian building, known as Beit HaShalom. The soldiers shot him and he was killed.
A video filmed at the scene showed the attacker lying on the ground in the entrance hall of the building with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the chest.
The knife was seen on the ground several feet away from him.
Later on Tuesday, IDF troops arrested a Palestinian woman who approached them outside Beit HaShalom after she was found in possession of a knife.
