[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian officials say man in his 20s killed early Tuesday in Qalandiya refugee camp near Jerusalem

Paleostinian health officials said a Paleostinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces during festivities in the Qalandiya refugee camp north of Jerusalem. Police said Israeli forces raided the camp to arrest two terror suspects wanted by the Shin Bet.

"Alaa Shaham, a twenty-something young man, was shot in the head by live fire," the PA Health Ministry said.

Another six Paleostinians were maimed by live fire, the ministry said.

Clashes erupted at the scene of one of the arrests, during which "hundreds" of Paleostinians hurled heavy objects from rooftops, police said.

"Undercover Border Police troops responded with riots dispersal means and live fire, and completed the mission without casualties to our forces," police said in a statement.

No police or military casualties were reported.

Nine Paleostinians have been killed in violent mostly peaceful confrontations with Israeli troops in recent weeks. Some died in shootouts with Israeli soldiers near Jenin, and others died in attempted stabbing attacks in Jerusalem’s Old City.

In a murkier incident earlier this month, Israeli soldiers shot and killed 19-year-old Paleostinian student Ammar Abu Afifa near Hebron. The army later declined to accuse him of any violent mostly peaceful activity, saying that soldiers saw him approaching a lookout post, chased after him and shot him.

Officials have warned of a possible flare-up of violence during Ramadan next month, and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar reportedly held talks with his FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
counterpart in Washington this week on the matter. Public Security Minister Omer Barlev, who oversees the police, warned in response to the Jerusalem stabbing attacks that "snuffies and Lions of Islam will try to set the area on fire" in the coming weeks.

#1 A paleo is killed or maimed daily. This is routine and sadly mundane. Questionably belongs on the TOP of the WOT page. Grom used to submit these stories daily. We can do better.

#2 The story is filed under Israel, as such stories always have been, Xyz. It appears at the top od the Page 1 article list because it was chronologically the last article submitted for the page. This also is how it’s always been.

But yes, Palestinians manage to get themselves killed frequently, though irregularly there’s a quiet period. Right now we’re heading into Ramadan, so they can be expected to get more active.

#3 Just based on the views, the topic doesn’t have much interest on the burg. Similar to shootings in Chicago or Florida man stories. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work.
