IDF: Palestinian Killed Near West Bank Settlement Was Islamic Jihad Terrorist
(Ha'aretz) A Palestinian shot and killed by Israel Defense Forces soldiers near the settlement of Mevo Dotan on Tuesday was a member of the Islamic Jihad terrorist group, military sources said on Friday. The man had opened fire at an army post in the northern West Bank. Military sources identified the Palestinian as Salem Mohammad Sami Samoudi, a "recognized Islamic Jihad operative" who had "been arrested by the IDF twice in the past for his involvement in terrorist activities." The sources also indicated that a Palestinian killed two weeks ago after a failed stabbing attempt at the Bekaot checkpoint in the Jordan Valley was also a member of Islamic Jihad, identifying him as Khaldoun Majed Ahmed Samoudi.
