Times of Israel reports:
A Palestinian man was shot dead as he attempted to stab soldiers at a bus stop in the central West Bank on Monday, the Israel Defense Forces said.No Israeli injuries were reported.“The assailant got out of a car, armed with a knife, and tried to stab an IDF soldier,” the military said.The soldier opened fire at the man, killing him, according to the IDF. The knife was recovered at the scene.Troops launched a search to find the car that transported the assailant to the scene, setting up roadblocks in the area. A short while later, the driver of the vehicle turned himself in to Israeli security forces, the Defense Ministry’s Civil Administration said.
The Palestinian Authority always takes the tack of "Israel killed him unjustly."
Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates today condemned in two separate statements the Israeli army killing of a Palestinian man near the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem.Faleh Jaradat, from the Hebron area town of Sair, was shot and killed this afternoon after he allegedly attempted to stab a soldier at an intersection near Bethlehem. The soldier was not hurt.Shtayyeh called on international human rights organizations to pressure Israel to stop the killings and ongoing attacks on the Palestinian people.He said the soldiers left Jaradat bleeding on the ground until he died, stressing that the extrajudicial execution of Palestinians reflects “the doctrine of state terrorism espoused by its soldiers.”The Foreign Ministry, on the other hand, considered the killing of Jaradat another episode in the series of extrajudicial killings committed by the Israeli occupiers and their settlers against unarmed Palestinian civilians under flimsy pretexts and enforcement of the new shooting instructions approved by the political and military circles in the occupying state.While it held the Israeli government fully responsible for “this crime,” it called on the international community, particularly the United Nations and its Secretary-General, to shoulder their responsibilities and initiate a system to protect the Palestinian people under occupation.
And Hamas is always proud of the wannabe murderer:
The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" mourned the martyrdom of Faleh Musa Shaker Jaradat, the perpetrator of the stabbing attack at the "Gush Etzion" junction, south of Bethlehem. "We mourn with pride the heroic martyr Faleh Musa Shaker Jaradat, who carried out the heroic stabbing operation at the Gush Etzion junction," the movement said in a statement. She added, "We congratulate this operation, and affirm that it comes in the context of the natural response to the crimes of the occupation and its settlers throughout the West Bank, occupied Jerusalem, and the steadfast Negev."
