[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian media identifies attacker as member of PA security services; military suspects Hamdi Abu Dayyah also behind attack against bus near Halhul on Sunday
A Paleostinian gunman who shot up troops in the southern West Bank on Tuesday was rubbed out by troops, the Israel Defense Forces said, adding that he was also suspected of being responsible for another attack two days earlier.
According to the IDF, troops stationed near the Paleostinian town of Halul, not far from Hebron, came under fire by the gunman. He "fired at the forces, who returned fire and neutralized him," the military said.
His death was declared at the scene. No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the attack, the IDF said.
Images from the scene showed the gunman had used a makeshift "Carlo" submachine gun in the attack.
He was named by the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry as 40-year-old Hamdi Shaker Abdullah Abu Dayyah.
Paleostinian media reports said Abu Dayyah was an officer in the Paleostinian Authority security services.
A supposed will written by Abu Dayyah before the attack was circulated online, in which he wrote he that he was sacrificing his life to protect holy sites and the honor of Islam.
The IDF said it suspected the gunman was responsible for another attack in the area on Sunday afternoon.
In the incident Sunday, a bus carrying Israelis on the Route 60 highway near Halhul came under fire. No injuries were caused after one bullet struck a window near the driver’s seat.
In arrests raids early Tuesday, the IDF said troops arrested 10 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, with violent mostly peaceful incidents in some areas.
In the city of Qabatiya, near Jenin, the IDF said troops shot up Paleostinian button men who shot at them, adding that at least one suspect was hit.
The IDF said the 10 Paleostinians who were arrested in the West Bank over suspected terror activities were taken to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency.
No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the overnight raids, the IDF said.
