IDF says Palestinian was shot dead during raid in Aqraba

Enemy media: The IDF says its troops shot dead a wanted Palestinian after he attacked forces during an attempt to question him in the northern West Bank overnight. The army said troops raided the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus, to question Abd al-Karim Muhammad Salem Khader, whom it described as a terrorist affiliated with a terror organization. As the troops reached a building where Khader was staying, he threw a Molotov cocktail and an improvised bomb at them without causing injuries, the military said. The soldiers then surrounded the building and carried out a tactic known as pressure cooker before breaching it, and the Nahal Brigade Reconnaissance Unit opened fire and killed him after identifying him brandishing a knife he intended to use against the forces, according to the IDF. The official Palestinian WAFA news agency said Khader's body was seized by Israeli forces.
