[IsraelTimes] Sgt. First Class (res.) Eviatar Ben Yehuda, 31, killed in Palestinian town of Tamun during patrol; blast injures his battalion commander, 3 other soldiers
An Israeli reservist soldier was killed and four others were maimed, including a senior officer at death's door, when they were hit by a roadside kaboom in the West Bank overnight, the military announced on Monday morning.
The slain soldier was named by the Israel Defense Forces as Sgt. First Class (res.) Eviatar Ben Yehuda, 31, of the Ephraim Regional Brigade’s 8211th Reserve Battalion, from the southern town of Nitzan.
According to an initial IDF probe, the soldiers were in a David light armored vehicle part of a convoy during a patrol in the town of Tamun, in the northern West Bank, when a large bomb exploded.
The explosion killed Ben Yehuda, who was the driver, and seriously maimed his battalion commander, a reservist officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel, who was sitting next to him.
Three other soldiers in the back of the vehicle were also hurt and were listed in light and moderate condition.
In the past year, two soldiers and a police officer have been killed by roadside kabooms in the West Bank.
Armed groups in the West Bank frequently plant improvised bombs under roads to attack Israeli forces carrying out arrest raids. The military regularly rips up roads with armored bulldozers as a precautionary measure before entering with lighter-armed vehicles.
Violence in the West Bank has mounted since October 7, 2023, when Hamas

assaulted southern Israel, sparking war in 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 a rusty iron fist by Hamas with 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.

and unrest across the region. Since then, 46 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in Paleostinian terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank, including some carried out by Israeli citizens.
Another seven members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank. Much of the violence has been concentrated near Nablus, Jenin and other Paleostinian cities in the northern West Bank.
According to the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry, more than 858 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed since October 7, 2023. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or bandidos gunnies carrying out attacks.
During the same period, troops have arrested some 6,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas.
Additionally, settler violence against Paleostinians has soared since the Hamas massacre, with security forces accused of turning a blind eye to the attacks.
