The wave of terror in Judea and Samaria continued on Friday morning as three terrorists approached the front gate of the Salem base in northern Samaria armed with makeshift automatic rifles and opened fire at IDF soldiers and Border Policemen stationed there.

The soldier manning the front gate opened fire, followed by her comrades, and hit the attackers.

Two of the terrorists were reportedly killed in the exchange of fire with the troops, and the third was critically wounded. There were no casualties among the Israeli soldiers.

According to initial reports from the scene, each of the terrorists was armed with a rudimentary "Carlo" submachine gun.

In related news, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit reported Friday that IDF forces operating overnight Thursday in the village of Turmusaya had mapped the home of the terrorist who committed the shooting attack at Tapuach Junction on Sunday that claimed the life of Yehuda Guetta, 19, for demolition.

Two Israelis were wounded along with Guetta, who succumbed to his wounded on Wednesday at Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva.

In related news, in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah on Thursday night, Palestinians and Israelis hurled rocks and chairs at each other before Israeli police moved in to separate them, arresting at least 15 people.

Video circulating online later showed Israeli civilians with guns drawn amid burning objects, apparently set ablaze by Arab rioters at the scene. There were no reports of serious injuries.

One vehicle was torched and rocks were also hurled at police officers. Passersby were assaulted at a nearby light rail station and one man was attacked and lightly wounded on Shomrei Emunim Street.

The violence erupted after MK Itamar Ben-Gvir, chairman of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, opened an office in the neighborhood. Dozens of Arabs threw rocks and other objects at the makeshift office. According to Ben-Gvir and others, police officers at the scene stood by and failed to intervene.

"I came here because children and women are being attacked every evening," Ben-Gvir said.

"Arab rioters destroyed my office. They threw rocks, chairs, anything they could get their hands on, as the police stood by and did nothing. The police have become bankrupt – it's time to give the police strong backing and instruct them to handle thugs and to stop tying their hands. The time has come for the police to start acting against those who try day and night to harm the residents [of the neighborhood] and the sovereignty of the State of Israel," he added.

Pro-Palestinian protesters have been meeting for nightly iftars – the meal held after breaking the daylong fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan – at long tables set up outside. On Thursday, Israelis set up a table and awning across the street. They were joined by Ben-Gvir.

"Police and border police are operating to prevent friction between the sides," the police said in a statement. "At this stage, the event is under control."

In recent weeks, Palestinian protesters have also clashed with Israeli police in Jerusalem over restrictions on outdoor gatherings during Ramadan.
