Palestinian killed by IDF fire during arrest operation
2015-07-25
[Ynet] IDF and Paleostinians provide differing account of incident in which 53-year-old was rubbed out in West Bank during arrest operation.

Falah Abu Maria, a 53-year-old Paleostinian, was killed by IDF fire during an arrest operation in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron in the West Bank on Wednesday night.

A Kfir Brigade force entered the home of one of the wanted individuals and encountered resistance, including an attempt to choke one of the soldiers.

The troops were pelted with rocks when they left the residence, requiring them to provide cover fire. Abu Maria was struck and died of his wounds.

Paleostinians described the incident differently, saying that IDF troops stormed the house and shot up one of Abu Maria's children. Two bullets struck him in the pelvis, they claimed. Abu Maria reportedly attempted to help his son and was struck twice in the chest. The son underwent surgery and his condition is stable. Another relative was lightly maimed by bullet fragments.

six suspects in the West Bank. Four were charged with committing terrorism and rioting.

The incident occurred less than 24 hours after a 21-year-old Paleostinian was killed on Wednesday near Jenin during riots that developed after the arrest of a Paleostinian.

a well-known former member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs named Mustafa Abu Riala. Riala was injured during the arrest.

Additionally, another unknown man was arrested and injured during the raid as well.

A Paleostinian security official told Ynet that Riala was a wanted figure by both the Israeli and Paleostinian security forces.
