WATCH: Terrorist Attempts To Infiltrate Kedumim On Saturday Night

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Footage from surveillance cameras in Kedumim, a community in Samaria which is the home of Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich, show an armed Palestinian terrorist who tried to infiltrate the community. The terrorist was identified by an alert observer and eliminated by a security guard shortly afterwards. He was identified later as 18-year-old Karim Ali Ahmed Salman, from the village of Kosin near Shechem.

A pistol was found near the body of the terrorist. This was one of four terror attacks perpetrated in Israel during a 24-hour period on Friday and Saturday.
