It was reported that during the predawn hours Thursday, 7 Menachem Av, IDF soldiers were attacked while trying to make an arrest in Beit Omer in the Hebron district. B’chasdei Hashem soldiers were not injured but one of the attackers was shot and killed.

During the funeral for the terrorist early Thursday afternoon, in Beit Omer, soldiers came under attack again. One was lightly injured by a knife. Firebombs, stones and other objects were hurled at soldiers too. At least 12 rioters were injured when IDF soldiers used riot-control adjuncts. The soldier was transported to a Jerusalem hospital.

Other acts of Arab terror that occurred early Thursday afternoon include an Arab minor who was taken into custody in Hebron when police during a routine inspection found he was concealing a knife. The minor in custody told police he uses the knife for work.

In yet another attack, an Arab driver passing IDF Shomron Command hurled a knife at a female sentry. The soldier was uninjured and the attacker fled in his vehicle. A search was conducted for the attacker.
