[IsraelTimes] Serviceman taken to hospital as army searches for button men; incident comes as tensions flare on Passover Eve, with festivities at Temple Mount, rocket fire from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
An Israel Defense Forces soldier was lightly maimed by gunfire during an operation near the West Bank city of Hebron early Wednesday morning, as Israeli-Paleostinian tensions spiked during Ramadan and ahead of the start of Passover.
Troops returned fire, and the soldier was treated for his wounds at th scene in the village of Beit Ummar, the military said. He was then taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
The military said it was searching for the assailants.
Rioting subsequently broke out in the village, with several Paleostinians lighting tires and throwing rocks and explosives at troops.
The Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which this year once again coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover, is known to be a period of high tensions between Israeli forces and Paleostinians. Tens of thousands of worshipers visit al-Aqsa, Islam’s third holiest site, throughout the month, regularly leading to a spike in tensions with Israel and violence.
Last week, the IDF announced it would impose a closure on the West Bank, set to take effect at 5 p.m. Wednesday, with crossing points closed to Paleostinians on the first and last days of the Passover holiday. Gaza border crossings will also close.
Such closures are standard practice during festivals and holidays. The military says they are a preventative measure against attacks in periods of increased tension.
The closure will last until Saturday, April 8. A second closure will begin on April 11 and last until April 12.
