IDF: Palestinians lobbed Molotov cocktails, soldiers opened fire

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit stated that several Palestinians approached an IDF post near the Einav settlement in the West Bank and lobbed Molotov cocktails at it. The soldiers returned fire and killed one of the assailants.

 

According to the rules of engagement, a shoot-to-kill order can only be issued if the attackers were identified beyond a doubt. The IDF will examine how the Palestinians managed to come so close to the post and whether the soldiers could have controlled the incident without opening fire. (Yoav Zitun)
