A Palestinian terrorist on Friday threw a grenade at Israel Defense Forces troops operating near Jenin in northern Samaria.
The soldiers returned fire, killing the attacker, the military said.
No injuries were reported among Israeli forces.
On Wednesday, the IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) announced that they had thwarted an Iranian weapons-smuggling operation aimed at supplying terrorists in Judea and Samaria.
“This shipment, like its predecessors, is part of an ongoing Iranian effort to destabilize security in the region by arming terror cells, whose goal is to carry out attacks against Israelis and IDF forces,” according to the joint statement.
