Jihad: Palestinian killed by IDF planned to attack checkpoint

A spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, said the Palestinian killed by IDF fire near Tulkarm was identified as Muhammad Ziad, a 23-year-old group member.

The spokesman added that Ziad was supposed to carry out a terror attack at the checkpoint as part of the organization’s response to the killing of two members by IDF forces near Jenin earlier in the week. (Ali Waked)
