[IsraelTimes] Clashes break out a few hundred meters away from Abbas’s house after large number of Israeli troops enter West Bank city
As the IDF’s hunt after the Paleostinian bully boyz in a drive-by shooting in the central West Bank approached its 24th hour, troops raided the Ramallah offices of the official Paleostinian news agency, the agency and witnesses said Monday.
Seven Israeli civilians were maimed in the attack Sunday evening at a bus stop near the Ofra settlement, with doctors forced to prematurely deliver the baby of one of the maimed.
Israeli soldiers entered Ramallah on Monday morning, with low-level festivities breaking out a few hundred meters from the house of Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
 ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
They seized the security camera footage of a nearby building, according to employees of the news agency.
Two people were hit with live bullets during the festivities, according to the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy.
Later, soldiers raided the headquarters of Wafa, the official Paleostinian news agency, including the photography and editing offices, a statement from the news agency said.
An army spokeswoman said she could not comment on the Ramallah raid, including whether it was part of the hunt for the button men from Sunday night’s incident.
A Paleostinian Authority official condemned the raid. Speaking to Paleostine TV, Ahmad Assaf, the PA official responsible for overseeing government-run Paleostinian media, called it a "crime" and vowed that it would not dissuade him and his colleagues from "exposing the occupation’s crimes."
Assaf also asserted that the Paleostinians would follow up in international institutions and organizations in order to hold Israel to account for the raid.
BABY FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE
Earlier Monday, doctors at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem delivered via a Cesarean section the baby of one victim of the shooting, who was 30 weeks pregnant, the hospital said.
The hospital added that the mother, 21, was stable but the baby boy’s condition had taken a turn for the worse.
After the attack, the Israel Defense Forces quickly launched a search for the button men, shutting down roads and establishing temporary checkpoints on the surrounding highways on Sunday night.
During the searches, Israeli troops entered the town of Silwad, outside Ramallah and just north of Ofra, late Sunday night, according to the PA’s Wafa news outlet.
In Silwad, local residents clashed with the Israeli troops, throwing rocks and other objects at the military vehicles. In response, the soldiers fired tear gas and other less-lethal riot dispersal weapons at the rioters, according to Wafa.
The northern entrance to al-Bireh, a town adjacent to Ramallah, was also closed in both directions on Sunday night, Wafa reported.
The army said on Monday morning that the perpetrators had so far not been located.
"IDF, border police and security forces commenced extensive searches in the villages in the area as part of the hunt for the bully boyz who committed the attack," a statement on Monday said. "The IDF will continue to operate to apprehend the bully boyz and ensure the security of civilians."
