Palestinian killed in clash with IDF; troops nab suspect in planning attacks
[IsraelTimes] Military says Ratib al-Bali was ’advancing significant terror attacks’; troops come under fire during raid in Burqin; eight arrested in overnight operations across West Bank

Israeli troops clashed with Paleostinian button men near the West Bank city of Jenin on Monday morning, as they went in to arrest a wanted man accused of planning "significant" terror attacks, the military said.

One Paleostinian man was killed and four others were hurt amid the festivities, the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said.

The Israel Defense Forces said the suspect, Ratib al-Bali, previously tossed in the clink
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
for terror offenses, was involved in numerous shootings in recent weeks, and was "advancing significant terror attacks."

Troops had surrounded al-Bali’s home in the village of Burqin, near Jenin, as festivities broke out. A local wing of the Paleostinian 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...
said its members shot up troops as they operated in the city and near al-Bali’s home.

According to the IDF and footage of the incident, al-Bali surrendered to troops at his home and was arrested.

The IDF said button men opened fire and hurled bombs at troops, who responded with gunfire. The army added that "hits were identified."

Paleostinian media identified the killed man as Mahmoud Saadi. The ministry said four others were moderately or lightly maimed in the festivities.

In footage published by Paleostinian media outlets, gunfire can be heard in the Jenin area.

A small explosion, reportedly an improvised bomb used against Israeli troops, was also seen in one clip.

No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the festivities, the IDF said.

Separately on Monday morning, police said officers arrested two Israelis suspected of assaulting troops and initiating festivities with Paleostinians in the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday. The festivities came as thousands of Jewish Israelis spent the weekend in the city for an annual pilgrimage tradition.

A female soldier was beaten and lightly hurt by an Israeli man, who the Haaretz daily reported was himself a soldier, and two Paleostinians were hurt by stones thrown by Israelis.

Police said the two detainees were suspected of "involvement in assault incidents" in Hebron, without specifying. Six men arrested on Saturday after being suspected of participating in the violence were released on Sunday, Channel 12 news reported.
