The IDF released Saturday evening a video of the thwarted terror attack near the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar earlier in the day. The video show a Palestinian approaching the community and at one point lighting up the Molotov cocktail he was holding.
Seconds later, the Palestinian hurled the Molotov cocktail, which apparently exploded not too far from him.

The video was shot using a thermal camera and does not feature the actual killing of the Palestinian youth who threw it.
Saturday morning, soldiers manning an observation post in the area spotted a Palestinian advancing towards the settlement, located south of Nablus, at around 6 am.
Border Guard forces and Golani Brigade infantry troops stationed in the area subsequently killed him.
A search of his body revealed a knife and other tools concealed on his person, which defense officials said were meant to be used in breaking into the settlement.
