<\/p>

\r\n\tOn Monday night, Israeli counterterrorism police eliminated Palestinian Abdel-Raouf Shatyeh in the Judea-Samaria city of Nablus. Shatyeh was responsible for the car battering ram attack that killed two Israeli soldiers near the city on May 29, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>

The victims were Sergeant Eliya Hilel and Sergeant Diego Shvisha Harsaj, both 20 years old and members of the Nahshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade.<\/p>

\r\nShatyeh accelerated his vehicle towards a military checkpoint and fled immediately afterward.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nDuring a nighttime operation in eastern Nablus, the elite Yamam unit surrounded the building where the suspect was hiding.<\/p>

\r\nUpon realizing he was armed, the officers opened fire.<\/p>

\r\nA drone later confirmed that Shatyeh had been killed.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAccording to the Israeli army and internal security service Shin Bet, Israeli forces had been hunting the perpetrator of the attack since last year.<\/p>

\r\nImmediately after the attack, he surrendered to Palestinian Authority security forces, but instead of being transferred to Israel, he was released and became a wanted man.\r\n<\/p>

In the same operation in Nablus, several accomplices who collaborated with Shatyeh were arrested by Israeli soldiers.<\/b>\r\n<\/p>

\r\nViolence in the Judea-Samaria has increased dramatically since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which triggered the war in Gaza.<\/p>

\r\nAccording to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health, more than a thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers during this period.<\/p>

\r\nThe Israeli army claims that the vast majority were armed men killed in clashes, participants in violent disturbances, or perpetrators of attacks.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nDuring the same period, 63 people – including civilians and members of the Israeli security forces – died in terrorist attacks in Israel and the Judea-Samaria, while another eight Israeli soldiers were killed in armed clashes during incursions into Palestinian cities.<\/p>

\r\nThe period also saw a sharp increase in violent attacks by extremist settlers against Palestinian communities throughout the region.<\/p>
