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.
