Yaakov Katz , THE JERUSALEM POST
St-Sgt. Noam Adin Richter Levy, 20, from Mitzpe Netufa near Jerusalem, a soldier from the Dhihifat battalion, was killed pre-dawn Thursday in IDF raid on the town of Berzit north of Ramallah.
IDF sources said that Levy was killed during a routine operation that included a night-time patrol around the town, which is home to one of the leading Palestinian universities.
Sources said that the IDF was investigating the incident, as well as the possibility that the soldier was killed by friendly fire.
During the patrol through the town a part of the Dhihifat force was separated, and "many questions surrounded what happened next," according to the sources. The IDF said it was also possible that the force encountered resistance while on patrol, and that the soldier was shot by a Palestinian gunman.
The IDF was waiting for autopsy results to determine the cause of death.
Levy was the first soldier to be killed in the West Bank in over a year.
