IDF troops kill Palestinian fire-bomber near West Bank settlement
By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent and The Associated Press
Tags: Israel News, West Bank 

Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Tuesday shot dead a 17-year-old Palestinian who tried to throw a fire bomb near the West Bank settlement of Beit El.

Troops found next to the teen's body a cache of ten other fire bombs, which he apparently planned on hurling at the settlement. According to the IDF, two other Palestinians fled the scene.

An IDF spokeswoman said that in light of a number of recent attacks in and around on the settlement an army squad had set up an ambush after dark on Tuesday, which subsequently caught the Palestinian.

Palestinian officials identified the dead teen as Abdel Kader Zeit from Jalazoun.

Earlier Tuesday, IDF engineers blew up a tunnel dug by Palestinians in central Hebron. The tunnel, which was some 100 meters long, was discovered by Palestinian police in the West Bank city during the Jewish Holiday of Sukkot.

After the Palestinians police had informed the Civil Administration of their discovery, the IDF examined the tunnel. The army is still investigating whether it was meant to facilitate a terror attack.
