Medics: Five Palestinians wounded by Israeli fire near Ramallah
2009-09-01
Ma'an -- Five Palestinians were wounded by gunfire from the Israeli army near the West Bank settlement of Bet El, north of the city of Ramallah, Palestinian medics said.

Medical sources said that Israeli forces prevented Palestine Red Crescent ambulances from reaching the scene in order to evacuate the wounded Palestinians, one of whom was said to be in critical condition. Israeli forces reportedly declared the area a closed military zone.

The sources added that, according to a preliminary investigation, the wounded people were thought to be young men from Jalazun Refugee Camp, north of Ramallah.

An Israeli military spokesperson told Ma'an that "three Palestinian gunmen hurled firebombs" at Israeli forces, who opened fire, hitting one of them.
Ah, so the Palestinians were not, in point of fact, innocently wandering past, discussing whether 'tis better to plant larkspur or shasta daisies in the back garden along the fence.
The spokesperson also said that soldiers administered initial medical treatment to the Palestinian on the scene before taking him to a hospital in Israel.
There to steal their organs, no doubt. Let's check the Aftonbladet to read the rest of that story.
Israeli forces are searching the area, the spokesperson added.
