Israeli Border Police shot and killed a terrorist after he stabbed and lightly wounded one of them in Samaria overnight Monday.

The terrorist was identified as a 19-year-old resident of the Gaza Strip.

The incident occurred during a counterterror operation in the city of al-Bira, north of Jerusalem, near Ramallah.

Commander of the Military Police, Superintendent Yitzhak Brik, visited the officer in the hospital and praised his response: “With a quick, determined and sharp reaction, you recognized the threat, made contact and eliminated the terrorist—you acted as a Military Police fighter is expected to act in this type of event. I wish you a speedy recovery,” said Brik, as quoted by Israel National News.

Liz Berney, of ZOA, told JNS that the organization is “pleased that the Supreme Court and the appellate court properly dismissed this baseless case outright.”
