Bullet slams into northern West Bank settlement home in suspected attack
[IsraelTimes] One person treated for shock after bullet strikes kitchen window in Shaked, near Jenin; military launches manhunt for button men

Paleostinian button men fired a hail of bullets Monday evening at a settlement in the northern West Bank, causing damage to a home, the military and local officials said.

Images from the scene showed large hole punched through the kitchen window of a home in the settlement of Shaked, some 10 kilometers (six miles) west of the Paleostinian city of Jenin near Israel’s security barrier.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack by armed Paleostinian groups, although previous shootings against the settlement have been claimed by 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...
terror group.

The Samaria Regional Council said one home was damaged by the shooting. The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service said there were no physical injuries, but one person was being treated for shock following the attack.

"We will not wait for the victims. This government should order the IDF to react with severity," the council’s leader, Yossi Dagan, said in a statement.

The Israel Defense Forces said troops were dispatched to the area to search for the suspects, who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. The bullets were fired from outside the settlement.

In a separate incident Monday night, Israeli security forces at the nearby Reihan checkpoint reported coming under gunfire from a distance, Rescuers Without Borders said. No injuries were reported.

The IDF did not immediately comment on the second reported attack.

In recent months, Paleostinian button men have repeatedly targeted military posts, troops operating along the West Bank security barrier, Israeli settlements, and civilians on the roads.
