IDF soldier killed in West Bank shooting attack; troops kill the Palestinian gunman
2023-07-07
[IsraelTimes] Fatality named as Staff Sgt. Shilo Yosef Amir; Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, claims responsibility for attack near Kedumim, west of Nablus, says it was a response to major IDF operation in Jenin this week

An Israeli soldier was rubbed out by a Paleostinian gunman near the West Bank settlement of Kedumim on Thursday afternoon, the military and medics said.

The IDF later named the fatality as Staff Sgt. Shilo Yosef Amir, 22, of the Givati Brigade, from the northern town of Meirav.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said he was declared dead at the scene following resuscitation efforts.

According to the Israel Defense Forces’ initial probe of the attack, security forces were alerted of the presence of a suspicious car driving around the settlement. When a civilian security officer and IDF troops arrived at the scene and stopped a car for inspection, its occupant fired at them with a handgun and fled. The forces then chased the assailant and killed him.

The military had barred publication that a soldier was killed in the attack until his family was notified.

Amid the shooting, a suspected infiltration siren sounded in the community, west of Nablus. The IDF’s Home Front Command briefly ordered residents of Kedumim to remain in their homes and lock their doors and windows.

The deadly attack was later claimed by the military wing of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
-ruling Hamas terror group, which identified the assailant as Ahmed Yassin Ghaidan of Qibya.

The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades said the shooting was as a response to the Israeli operation in Jenin earlier this week, during which at least 12 Paleostinian button men were killed, and over recent settler violence against Paleostinians in the West Bank.
