| [IsraelTimes] Attacks in northern West Bank come at end of tension-filled day that included deadly festivities, stabbing, additional shootings Israeli troops came under fire in two separate instances near Nablus on Wednesday night, the military said at the tail end of a tension-filled day in the West Bank. According to the Israel Defense Forces, Paleostinian button men first fired a hail of bullets at a military post near the town of Jit, west of Nablus, without causing any injuries. The IDF said that a short while later, shots were fired at another military post that overlooks the northern West Bank city. No soldiers were hurt in the attacks, according to the military. There was no immediate claim of responsibility by local terror groups for the attacks Wednesday. The IDF was probing if the two shootings were carried out by the same button men. In recent months, Paleostinian button men have repeatedly targeted military posts, troops operating along the West Bank security barrier, Israeli settlements and civilians on the roads. The attacks Wednesday night came hours after an Israeli man was stabbed and moderately maimed in a suspected terror attack in the South Hebron Hills area of the West Bank. The alleged Paleostinian stabber was rubbed out. Earlier Wednesday, Paleostinian button men fired dozens of bullets at the Salem military base and nearby checkpoint on the security barrier in the northern West Bank. No officers or soldiers were hurt in the incident, and Border Police officers fired back at the button men, who fled toward the Jenin area. In the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, a Paleostinian gunman was rubbed out during festivities with Israeli troops in Nablus’s Balata refugee camp, the military and Paleostinian health officials said. |
