Troops shoot at Palestinians hurling firebombs at West Bank post; 1 said killed

[IsraelTimes] IDF says pair of suspects approached military post outside Psagot settlement with Molotov cocktails; PA health authorities say one died from wounds

Israeli troops shot up two Paleostinians who threw Molotov cocktails toward a military post near a West Bank settlement on Friday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Health officials cited by the Paleostinian Authority’s official news agency Wafa said one of the assailants sustained critical injuries and later died of his wounds. The second Paleostinian suffered light injuries to the lower limbs in the shooting, according to the report.

Wafa named the fatality as Muhammad Jibril Rummana, without providing his age or residence, but said both were young Paleostinian men.

The IDF said in a statement Friday night that troops opened fire on the two Paleostinians after they hurled "Molotov cocktails at a military post" outside the settlement of Psagot, near Ramallah.

There were no casualties among the Israeli troops, the military said.

The IDF said the two received medical treatment following the shooting.

Wafa reported that the two Paleostinians were in a vehicle outside the Psagot settlement when they were fired upon. The news agency claimed Israeli forces prevented Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy ambulances from providing treatment.

Early Friday, the military said troops responded with live fire after Paleostinian suspects traveling in a vehicle opened fire outside the settlement of Beit El, north of Jerusalem. The IDF said soldiers who were on an operation nearby shot at the vehicle, hitting one suspect.

Separately, the military said troops arrested one suspect in the Ramallah suburb of El-Bireh in the West Bank overnight. During the arrest, residents threw stones and firecrackers at the soldiers who responded with riot dispersal means.

The suspect was transferred to security forces for interrogation, according to the IDF.

Update from Al Ahram at 8:00 p.m. EDT:

A Paleostinian activist and member of the Islamist Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, movement was killed on Friday evening by Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank, according to multiple sources.

"Mohammad Jibril Roummaneh died as a result of serious injuries caused by bullets fired by the occupying forces in El-Bireh" northeast of Ramallah, said the Paleostinian Ministry of Health in a statement.

It reported that a second Paleostinian had been injured but gave no details.

Hamas issued a statement describing Roummaneh as one of its members who fell as a "heroic martyr" while "defending the freedom of (his) people" near the settlement of Psagot.

#4 ^Israel took West Bank from Jordan in 1967. Right now it has 2 million Palestinians - we don't want them.

#6 if Israel took the west bank from jordan in 1967 then why is abbas still an authority there and giving money to palestinians that kill jews?

#7 The Oslo Accords in the first half of the 1990s gave the PLO limited self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza as a step toward full self-determination, irish rage boy. The result of that first step was the second intifada (2000-2005).

Abbas is still in charge because since 2007 or so it was clear that Hamas would win the election in both of the Territories, were elections actually held... so they have not been. And he hands out money because the world keeps throwing money at the Palestinian Authority, fully aware that they are using some of it to pay off their Jew-killers, and some of the rest to propagandize their population that killing Jews is the right thing to do.
