Jerusalem (AFP) - An 18-year-old Palestinian threatened Israeli border police with a knife at a flashpoint junction in the occupied West Bank on Thursday and was shot dead, Israeli authorities said.
The incident occurred at the Tapuah junction near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, where a number of attacks have taken place in recent months, police said.
Police said: "A suspect approached border police suspiciously.
"The border police called upon him to identify himself," spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said in a statement.
"He continued towards them and then pulled out a knife. Border police responded and the terrorist was neutralised. No injuries to officers at the scene."

Not smart to bring a knife to a gun fight we can only hope the his friends well take after him.
Amen.
Now if we can only treat our criminals and terrorists like this. Sucker punch an old person, shot dead! rob the elderly, shot dead! find you in my home, shot dead! robbing a convenience store, shot dead!
Suicide by IDF?
Disproportionate response!
He should have been allowed him to kill at least one Israeli before being shot.
Another step in the right direction.
