Israeli forces killed a Palestinian terrorist who had infiltrated an Israeli farming community on Wednesday night and holed up in a couple’s house. The occupants of the house, immigrants from Switzerland, escaped out a window when the gunman’s rifle jammed after he fired one shot. An anti-terror unit surrounded the house in Moshav Maor and subsequently killed the terrorist.
