IDF: 2 Palestinian gunmen trying to carry out attack shot dead by troops near Nablus Tuesday
[IsraelTimes] Soldiers spot suspects opening fire from passing car at military post near Elon Moreh settlement, ambush them; several firearms seized at the scene

Two Paleostinian button men were shot and killed by Israeli troops while attempting to carry out an attack near Nablus in the northern West Bank on Tuesday afternoon, the military said.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, troops stationed outside the Paleostinian town of Deir al-Hatab identified a number of Paleostinian button men opening fire from a passing vehicle at a military post near the adjacent settlement of Elon Moreh.

The troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Battalion ambushed the button men, killing two, a military source said. A third was reportedly maimed and fled toward the Nablus area.

The IDF said three M16 assault rifles and two handguns were seized at the scene from the suspects and following searches in the area.

The button men were named as Saud al-Titi and Muhammad Abu Dara al-Boub, from the Balata refugee camp on the outskirts of Nablus.

The local gang of the Balata refugee camp identified the two men members, sharing photos of them brandishing M-16s in the camp. al-Titi had previously spent 15 years in Israeli prison, the group said.

"We fought as soldiers and we promise we will always be soldiers," al-Titi said in a video after being freed from prison last spring.

The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said it was notified of their deaths, indicating their bodies were being held by the IDF.

No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the attempted attack, the IDF said.

In a separate incident on Tuesday, an unarmed Paleostinian man was detained after lunging at Border Police officers in the southern West Bank town of Hebron.

According to a police front man, the 23-year-old resident of Hebron attacked officers near the city’s Cave of the Patriarchs, known to Moslems as the Ibrahimi Mosque.

One of the officers opened fire into the air while another tackled the man to the ground, the front man said, adding that the suspect was lightly hurt.

Earlier on Tuesday, the IDF said troops captured an alleged Paleostinian terror cell planning an "imminent attack" during a raid in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.

The incidents on Tuesday came as tensions have soared across the region in recent days, with a rocket attack from Syria on Saturday night; a barrage of rockets from Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
on Thursday; tit-for-tat rocket fire from the 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...
Strip and Israeli strikes over the past week; festivities at the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Temple Mount; terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank; and a suspected Iranian drone launched from Syria last week.

Tensions between Israel and the Paleostinians have been high for the past year, with the IDF conducting near-nightly raids in the West Bank amid a series of deadly Paleostinian terror attacks.

At least 92 Paleostinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, most of them while carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under circumstances that are being investigated.

Paleostinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have left 19 people dead since the beginning of the year.
