An Arab terrorist opened fire at IDF soldiers manning a checkpoint near Halhul as they were checking cars. The soldiers returned fire and killed the terrorist. The attack happened around 11 AM on Tuesday.
The terrorist has been identified as a police officer in the Palestinian Authority. He left behind a suicide note before launching his attack declaring his desire to be a “Shahid” (martyr).

No IDF troops were wounded in the attack. It is suspected this is the same terrorist involved in a shooting attack in the area a few days ago.
