Israeli security forces conducted an operation near Birzeit, north of Ramallah, to apprehend members of a terrorist cell that had carried out shooting attacks against Israeli soldiers. Forces surrounded the house of one of the suspects, who had barricaded himself. The Israeli troops called on him to surrender, but the man refused. The decision was made to enter the house and, after entry, soldiers shot and killed the suspect, who was holding an AK-47 rifle.
