Terrorist shot after attempting to stab IDF soldier operating in West Bank, no IDF injuries
- On Friday night, Israel Defense Forces killed an armed Palestinian man during an overnight operation in Jenin after he attempted to stab a soldier; no Israeli forces were injured.
- Palestinian sources identified the man as Fathi Hazem, a former Palestinian Authority security official and father of Raad Hazem, who killed three people at Tel Aviv's Ilka Bar on Dizengoff Street in April 2022.
- Israeli security officials had previously discussed targeting Fathi Hazem but decided against an operation, citing concerns that his elimination could trigger significant escalation in the West Bank area.
- The incident follows a confrontation two weeks ago when two Israeli civilians accidentally entered Jenin, where Palestinians surrounded their vehicle and threw stones before they escaped with Shomron Regional Council assistance.
- Neither the military nor Palestinian sources reported further immediate clashes following the overnight operation, though the area remains tense with militants regarding Fathi Hazem as a symbol of resistance.
