Israeli troops kill two Palestinian gunmen suspected of recent West Bank attack
|
[IsraelTimes] IDF, police say pair involved in carrying out shooting earlier in the week that injured Israeli man; another two wanted Paleostinians arrested in Tulkarem
Two Paleostinian button men were killed by Israeli troops during a raid early Saturday on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the West Bank, the military and Paleostinian health officials said.
In a joint statement, the Israel Defense Forces and police said soldiers and undercover Border Police officers entered the camp near the city of Tulkarem to arrest several suspects accused of being behind a shooting attack on Tuesday near the West Bank settlement of Avnei Hefetz in which one person was lightly injured.
"The two button men were shot and killed after attempting to flee the scene," the statement said. Police later published a video showing the armed button men being rubbed out as they attempted to escape via a rooftop.
The pair were identified as Hamza Jamil Kharyoush and Samer Salah al-Shafei, both 22.
Kharyoush and al-Shafei were claimed as members of the so-called Tulkarem Battalion, a new loosely organized 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 wing in the West Bank city.
Paleostinian media reports said the two were "members of the resistance" and killed during an exchange of fire.
The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said al-Shafei was shot in the neck, chest, and abdomen, and Kharyoush was shot in the chest, abdomen, and left leg. A third Paleostinian was brought to a hospital in Tulkarem in a stable condition, the ministry added.
Graphic footage posted to social media showed Israeli troops searching the bodies of the two men on the roof of a building. One video showed a soldier taking an assault rifle from the body of one of the killed button men.
Police later published images showing two assault rifles, magazines, and a military vest seized from the men’s bodies.
The IDF said two additional wanted Paleostinians who are suspected of being involved in the shooting attack last week, Muhammad Abd al-Fattah, 21, and Ibrahim Ahmed, 19, were detained in the area. The pair were handed over to the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning.
No Israeli soldiers were hurt during the raid.
In the shooting attack on Tuesday, eyewitnesses said at least one gunman exited a vehicle at the Shufa Junction — close to the Paleostinian town of the same name — and fired toward three cars leaving the settlement in the northern West Bank. A 39-year-old Israeli man traveling in one of the vehicles was lightly injured by glass shards, medics said.
