Recently, during an initiative by IDF fighters near the village of al-Khader in the area of the Etzion Regional Brigade, the fighters identified three suspects who arrived at the area where Molotov cocktails were thrown at Israeli vehicles several times recently, endangering passengers on the road. He threw a Molotov cocktail and hit it. The IDF fighters gave him first aid at the scene and he was later pronounced dead.
The head of the Gush Etzion Regional Council, Shlomo Ne’eman, congratulated the IDF soldiers on their operation near al-Khader tonight: “The hand raised on Jews must be cut off. IDF soldiers did well to kill the Arab who tried to burn Jews while they were alive. If this trend continues, I am sure we will see fewer Molotov cocktails in Gush Etzion in particular and in Judea and Samaria in general. Straighten your power. There is a reward for your hard work. “
