Suicide Bomber Killed at Checkpoint

A 20-year-old Palestinian terrorist was killed by IDF soldiers Monday at the Hawara checkpoint south of Nablus.

The IDF said that the Palestinian approached the checkpoint behaving in a suspicious manner and set off a metal detector numerous times, even when asked to remove objects from his person.

According to the army's account, the soldiers subsequently ordered the Palestinian to remain still.

However, the man slowly moved his hands in the direction of an explosive belt and consequently, the troops shot and killed him, said the army.
