Israeli forces targeted Palestinian houses inside the Shuafat camp and the Anata district in occupied Jerusalem, Saturday night, looking for the so-called the 'Shuafat checkpoint operator'.

Israeli security forces have launched a mass manhunt of the Palestinian who carried out an armed attack on a military checkpoint at Shuafat which lead to the death of an Israeli soldier identified as Noa Lazar.

Two other soldiers were injured in the deadly attack. 

According to Israeli sources, a 22-year-old Palestinian was inside a car near the military checkpoint before getting out and opening fire before running into the camp.
