[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian health officials say Ammar Shafiq Abu Afifa, 21, was killed by soldiers at entrance to Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem; IDF does not say what he was suspected of
A Paleostinian man was rubbed out by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank on Tuesday afternoon, the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry and the Israeli military said.
Paleostinian health officials identified the man as Ammar Shafiq Abu Afifa from the al-Aroub refugee camp near Hebron. They said he was shot on the outskirts of Beit Fajjar, near Bethlehem.
Officials said that they had received the report from the PA branch that handles ties with Israel, meaning that Abu Afifa’s body was likely in Israeli custody.
Nearly four hours after the incident occurred, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that soldiers operating security cameras identified two "suspects" approaching a lookout point near the settlement of Migdal Oz.
Troops dispatched to the scene chased the two men, and opened fire toward them according to open-fire procedures, the military said. Such procedure includes shouting at a suspect to halt, firing into the air, and only using deadly force if the soldier feels threatened.
The IDF did not detail what the two men were actually suspected of doing. It said the army was investigating the matter.
Also on Tuesday, amid festivities in the northern West Bank, a Paleostinian who hurled a Molotov cocktail at troops was shot at, a military spokesperson said.
According to the IDF, some 20 Paleostinians hurled stones at soldiers, and set tires on fire near the village of Burqa. "One of the suspects approached the troops and threw a Molotov cocktail at them. The troops responded with gunfire," the spokesperson said.
The official Paleostinian Authority news agency WAFA said the man was seriously hurt and taken to a hospital in Nablus. The military was aware of this claim.
Earlier Tuesday, security officials said a battle in the northern West Bank left two Paleostinian button men dead.
The Israel Police said undercover Border Police officers came under fire while arresting a terror suspect in the Jenin refugee camp. The suspect, Emad Abu al-Heija, is a son of an imprisoned senior Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, commander.
Paleostinian media identified the two fatalities as 19-year-old Shadi al-Najm and 22-year-old Abdullah al-Housri. The Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group immediately claimed al-Housri as one of its fighters. al-Najm was later claimed by the loosely Fatah-affiliated al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade as a "fighting member."
The West Bank has seen a rise in violent mostly peaceful confrontations between Israeli soldiers and Paleostinians in recent weeks, leaving at least six Paleostinians dead. In an increasing number of cases, soldiers entering Paleostinian areas to conduct routine arrests have been fired upon by armed terror group members, prompting shootouts.
