Lieutenant-Colonel Amichai Segal, the commander of Nahal Haredi's Netzah Yehuda Battalion, whose soldiers killed the Palestinian man who opened fire at them near Jenin, said the soldiers ordered him to stop and shot in the air.
"The terrorist started screaming 'Allahu Akbar' and opened fire at them, so the soldiers decided to return fire and killed him. I think they acted very well," Segal told Ynet. (Hanan Greenberg)
