According to the Israeli army radio, the Palestinian who carried out the operation infiltrated the military complex near the Tayasir checkpoint and opened fire on the soldiers. The armed clashes lasted for minutes before the occupation soldiers were able to shoot the Palestinian man, who was wearing a bulletproof vest. An Israeli air force drone was flying overhead, but the army decided not to use it to avoid injuring its own soldiers.
The shooting took place at a military checkpoint where a number of Israeli occupation soldiers were gathered. Two of the seriously injured were transported by military aircraft for treatment.

The shooting comes amid ongoing Israeli military aggression and siege on the Al-Far’a refugee camp and the town of Tamoun in Tubas, which has continued for three consecutive days. The Israeli occupation forces have carried out extensive raids and arrests, closed all entrances to Tamoun, and bulldozed and destroyed infrastructure in both locations.
Hamas blessed the heroic and qualitative shooting operation, stressing that Israel’s crimes and aggression against the northern occupied West Bank will not go unpunished. The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine also praised the heroic operation as an affirmation of the Palestinian people’s determination to resist the criminal occupation.
