Incident follows condemnation of Israeli ‘annexation’ government by Palestinians
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) foiled a terror attack near Bethlehem in the West Bank, the IDF said in a statement late Monday night.
“The troops spotted a number of suspects preparing to hurl Molotov cocktails at an IDF post… adjacent to Amos junction,” the statement read.
“The troops fired toward one of the suspects. The suspect was injured and received treatment at the spot and was evacuated to a hospital to receive further medical treatment.”
The incident follows Israel’s earlier announcement of establishing a government, ending its prolonged coalition crisis.
The Palestinians condemned the formation of a new Israeli “annexation” government, saying the agreement would wreck hopes of peace.
“The formation of an Israeli annexation government means ending the two-state solution and the dismantling of the rights of the people of Palestine,” Palestinian prime minister Mohammed Shtayyeh tweeted.
