A Palestinian fighter single-handedly wounded seven Israelis during hours-long clashes in the occupied West Bank on March 22.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that the attack began when the fighter opened fire at a minibus near the settlement of Dolev, causing no injuries. Israeli troops began a pursuit after the gunman, during which they came under fire several times.
The fighter was using a sniper rifle, and he had opened fire from behind makeshift cover in a forested area near Dolev, according to an initial IDF probe. He also moved between several positions that he had set up in the area, which he reached overnight.
The IDF said it scrambled an attack helicopter and drones in its search for the fighter. The helicopter carried out gunfire in the area where the fighter was believed to be. However, he fired several more shots toward Israeli troops at the same time.
Later, the elite Duvdevan unit was dispatched to the scene in an attempt to locate the fighter, during which the commandos also engaged in clashes with him.
Around five hours after the initial attack, the fighter was finally located by the IDF. The helicopter carried out a strike against him. He was killed on the spot.
Hebrew media reported that seven people were hurt in the incident, including one in critical condition and two in serious condition. The attacker is yet to be identified.
The daring shooting attack came amid Israel’s war against the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF and Israeli security services stepped up operations throughout the occupied West Bank after the start of the war in Gaza, killing more than 300 Palestinians and arresting many others. However, the security situation in Israel is only getting worse.

russia will win the war with ukraine but at a great cost to russia (my prediction at the start of the war)
next prediction: after ukraine loses, the west, nato or g7 will do something spectacularly stupid that would lead to the cessation of the usa. the usa will at the end cease to exist. there will still be habitable lands but it would look like the original 13 colonies that formed the usa. the world will become as it was 500 years ago. without the usa on the map….similar to atlantis
sai baba told you that?
usa is not the root cause of world problems – it’s just one big pawn of it. the real cause is satanism with its highest form called “judaism”. this satanist sick ideology which even camouflages itself as “religion” is the root cause of 99% of todays evil on earth !!!
in the right terrain, a sniper rifle is a hindrance to killing sprees. the rubble of gaza is one of those places where a battle rifle in the hands of somebody who knows the terrain like the back of their hand is much better. follow up shots are faster, the shooter is much more mobile, and a well made rifle just as accurate and deadly. fishing line, duct tape/nails and grenades can make surprisingly effective traps, especially when people are in the splatter of the moment.
yes. the psychological effect alone would be highly damaging. the palestinians need to develop the cult of the sniper like the russians did against the germans particularly in stalingrad.
yes a 308 hunting rifle is accurate for hundreds of meters and packs a punch! an elevated position with a good scope and your shooting fish in a barrel jew style!
question is if the guy with the rifle can get the illegal occupants in his sight quick enough to forcethem to run into their next diaspora!
awesome work by the brave palestinian resistance fighter. seems like besides killing children and bombing unarmed concentration camp prisoners, the idf isn’t worth a sermeye
dont forget their good at bombing hospitals; humanitarian convoys; shooting grannies with their grand kids standing next to them; disabled people and people lying injured in hospital beds. true warriors.
indeed, they talk a big talk and act all though in their f16s, but once on the battlefield facing actual warriors like hamas or hezbollah, they poop their pants and go crying for more help from uncle sam
frnce nd british with usa plan nd orgnise this terorism.cia,mossad and mi6 sbotage and terorise russia.just kill france nd british.keep on choking nd take over ukraine case close.
seven wounded and no kill’s? firing at a civilian minibus but not causing casualities? that’s not a military grade sniper but an amateur with maybe a sniperrifle and some luck.
