Palestinian Policeman Wounded In Shootout With Israelis
2005-11-29
Jerusalem, 29 Nov. (AKI) - A Palestinian policeman was wounded in the foot following a shootout with Israeli undercover security forces in Bethlehem on Tuesday. The skirmish began when the Palestinian opened fire on members of the Israeli undercover unit apparently operating in the city to arrest fugitives, the Jerusalem Post said quoting Israel Defence Force sources. According to the report, the Israeli soldiers, who were forced to abort the operation, fired deterrent shots in the air which successfully dispersed the Palestinian fighters.
They fired into the air and hit the Paleo cop in the foot? Was he doing his impression of the Rockettes at the time?
Also on Tuesday more than 40 Israeli soldiers and prison guards, as well as an unspecified number of inmates were injured following a riot at the Ofer prison in the West Bank, near the city of Ramallah.

The violence broke out as prison authorities began transferring four Palestinian prisoners to another detention centre, the Jerusalem Post reported. Many of the prisoners began pelting the guards with rocks and started to light fires in an attempt to prevent the transfer of the four men, all members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine PFLP group. Prison guards responded by firing tear gas and rubber bullets.

The transfer of the four PFLP went ahead after security forces quelled the rebellion, the Jerusalem Post said. According to Israeli sources, four prisoners were injured in the fighting, while Palestinian sources said at least 25 prisoners were hurt, including several who are in a serious condition.
