Police: Palestinian teen killed in Yitzhar Saturday had infiltrated before
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Israel, Yitzhar, Palestinians

Samaria and Judea District Police on Monday announced that the Palestinian teen killed while trying to perpetrate an attack in Yitzhar on Saturday had infiltrated the settlement one week before.

Police made the discovery using forensic evidence while conducting their investigation.

In the previous incident, the Palestinian youth stabbed a 9-year-old boy and set fire to one of the homes in the West Bank settlement.

In the wake of that attack, Yitzhar settlers went on a rampage in the nearby Palestinian village of Assira al-Kabaliya, burning olive groves and injuring at least eight Palestinians.

Border Policemen thwarted the second attack on Saturday, after seeing the youth get out of a car and advance toward Yitzhar by foot, intending to throw a Molotov cocktail at the settlement.

Soldiers manning an IDF observation post saw him in action and directed ground troops to the area. When the Palestinian noticed the Israeli forces he lit the Molotov cocktail and aimed it at them.

In response, the soldiers shot and killed him. A subsequent search of his body revealed a knife.

The boy, identified as Suhayeb Saleh, 14, was from the village of Assira al-Kabaliya. His parents identified his body at a nearby hospital.
