IDF and Yomam commando troops surrounded a home in PA (Palestinian Authority) occupied Birzeit during the night in an effort to apprehend two wanted terrorists.

One of the terrorists , wanted for shooting attacks against Jews in Yehuda and Shomron, was holed up in the house and a standoff resulted, lasting for hours. Yomam troops eventually shot and killed him in the house, bringing the standoff to an end.

B’chasdei Hashem there were no injuries to members of the IDF and Yomam despite the fact some 150 Arabs began pelting them with rocks. They dispersed the Arabs by firing at them.
