Paleo 'knife man' shot dead |
2009-04-17 |
![]() A 13-year-old boy was killed and a seven-year-old wounded by a Palestinian carrying an axe through the Bat Ayin settlement earlier this month. The military wing of Islamic Jihad and Imad Mughniyeh Group was reported to have claimed responsibility for that attack. No group has claimed responsibility for Friday's incident. The Palestinian man infiltrated the settlement which is south of the West Bank town of Hebron. He "tried to stab a few people" before he was killed, a military spokesperson said. Resident Uziel Shientof told Israeli media that he and a neighbour were on a security patrol when they spotted the Palestinian walking among the houses. "My friend asked him who he was, and the man drew a knife," Uziel, who was lightly injured in the attack, said. "My friend took my gun and killed the terrorist." Troops and police have closed nearby roads and are now searching the area. |

#1 Perfect illustration of the folly of bringing a knife to a gun fight. |
