Israel makes arrests after Palestinian attack that killed 4 civilians
|
[An Nahar] Israeli forces arrested three people Wednesday in a Paleostinian village which the military said was home to assailants who killed four Jews near a settlement in the occupied West Bank.
The army said Israeli forces detained three "wanted people" in Orif village in the northern West Bank.
The arrests comes after button men targeted Jews near Eli settlement Tuesday, killing four and wounding four others.
Multiple Israeli officials were unable to confirm their nationalities when contacted by AFP, while local media reported all of those killed were Israeli.
Israel has occupied the West Bank since the 1967 Six-Day War and the territory, excluding east Jerusalem, is now home to around 490,000 Israelis who live in settlements considered illegal under international law.
One of the attackers was shot at the scene by a civilian, while Israeli forces subsequently killed a second assailant who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
The military said Wednesday that its forces had entered Orif to "map the homes" of the shooters, a precursor to their demolition.
Israel routinely demolishes the homes of Paleostinians accused of carrying out attacks, arguing that such measures act as a deterrent while critics say it amounts to collective punishment.
The shooting near Eli settlement came a day after Israeli forces launched a raid on the West Bank city of Jenin, in which seven Paleostinians were killed including a holy warrior from 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...
The latest casualty was a 15-year-old girl who died of her wounds after being shot by Israeli forces during the incursion, the Paleostinian health ministry said Wednesday.
Separately on Monday, Israeli troops killed a member of Paleostinian holy warrior group Islamic Jihad, near Bethlehem in the West Bank, who the army accused of throwing Molotov cocktails.
