In a joint operation by the GSS Intelligence Division, an IDF force arrested the suspect last night (Sunday) by throwing a Molotov cocktail at an IDF soldier, yesterday at the Samaria Spatial Brigade.
Yesterday evening, the attack attempt occurred when the terrorist approached an IDF soldier who was guarding a military post near the Kedumim settlement. The terrorist soon threw the Molotov cocktail at the soldier and fled, while the soldier refrained from responding and did not open fire.

After the incident and with the distribution of the case video taken using a nearby security camera, criticism was leveled at the soldier who did not respond in real time. The IDF said that “earlier today, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at an IDF fighter near a military post near the settlement of Kedumim in the area of the Samaria Regional Brigade. An IDF force began pursuing the suspect, with no casualties and no damage. “It was also reported that the incident would be investigated.
The chairman of the National Union, MK Bezalel Smutrich, said in response to the attempted attack: “This story is simply insane. But this warrior is not guilty. Whoever is to blame is the legal system in the State of Israel, which is behaving like in Sodom. “Whoever prosecutes Aryeh Schiff on a murder charge should not be surprised when fighters are afraid to shoot terrorists.”
