Police arrest 8 Palestinians suspected of aiding escaped gunman who killed soldier
|
[IsraelTimes] Clashes erupt as officers detain relatives and acquaintances of Udai Tamimi, accused of killing Sgt. Noa Lazar in shooting attack in Shuafat earlier this month.
Eight Paleostinians suspected of aiding a gunman who allegedly killed an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint near Jerusalem earlier this month were arrested by Israeli security forces in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday.
Sgt. Noa Lazar, 18, a member of the Military Police’s Erez battalion, was shot on October 8 along with a civilian guard when the gunman shot up a checkpoint near the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem. The guard was hospitalized at death's door. Lazar was rushed to the hospital but died of her wounds shortly after.
The suspected shooter, 22-year-old Udai Tamimi, managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
into the camp, where he is thought to likely still be hiding.
Police said the eight suspects, residents of the Shuafat refugee camp and the nearby West Bank town of Anata, were relatives and acquaintances of Tamimi.
A Border Police front man said that during the searches overnight, weapon parts and military vests were seized.
The front man added that Paleostinians hurled Molotov cocktails and stones at officers, who responded with riot dispersal means. There were no immediate reports of Paleostinian injuries.
Police said no officers were hurt in the incidents.
Security forces have been searching for Tamimi since the attack, in which the gunman casually emerged from the passenger side of a white vehicle stopped at a checkpoint near Shuafat, walked up to a group of soldiers and opened fire from nearly point-blank range.
Several more suspects were arrested in the Shuafat area in the days following the shooting.
The heavy police activity in Shuafat led to days of rioting in the refugee camp and other Paleostinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. Unrest in the capital appeared to lower to a simmer over the past few days.
Separately, the Israel Defense Forces said troops arrested five wanted Paleostinians during overnight raids across the West Bank, and seized a firearm and other weapons parts.
