Israeli soldiers killed a terrorist who also was a member of the Palestinian Authority “security force” and opened fire on them during an arrest attempt in Kalkilya, located in western Samaria and adjacent to the northern metropolitan Tel Aviv city of Kfar Saba.
The Bethlehem-based Ma’an News Agency, which has close ties with the Palestinian Authority, reported that the solider shot him “in cold blood.” It identified him as Amir Abd al-Rahman Yasin, age 28.
