An Israeli police officer was killed when two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli patrol near the boundary between the West Bank and Israel on Saturday. The two gunmen were then killed in a barrage of return fire. The attack occurred near the Arab towns of Baka al-Sharkiya and Baka al-Gharbiya, which are divided by the "green line" demarcating the border between Israel and the West Bank. After coming under attack, paramilitary police returned fire, killing one of the gunmen. Police gunfire then caused the second car to explode, killing the second gunman. The blast was apparently caused by an explosives belt worn by one of the gunmen in the car.
These are the attack of the heroic 335th Heavy Boomer Corps. |
