| Palestinian sources reported Wednesday that 10 Palestinians were wounded during an IDF operation in the West Bank town of Nablus, during which two wanted Hamas and Fatah members were detained. IDF soldiers arrested Fatah member Rami Khanfar, who allegedly planned to execute a terror attack in Israel, and Hamas member Muhammad Zaalul. The two were taken in for questioning. During the operation, Palestinian gunmen opened fire at IDF soldiers, while throwing an explosive device and Molotov cocktails and hurling stones at the troops. No soldiers were injured, however Palestinians reported 10 people wounded, among them a youth in moderate condition who was evacuated to hospital for further medical assistance. The soldiers launched their operation in the early hours of Wednesday morning in the Nablus neighborhood of Ras al-Ein. They besieged a house in which the two wanted suspects were hiding. Zaalul turned himself in shortly afterwards, and was followed by Khanfar. |
