| [IsraelTimes] Military says several bullets hit site near West Bank town of Jit; Lion’s Den claim responsibility, following deadly raid against terror group Paleostinian button men opened fire from a passing vehicle at a military post near the northern West Bank city of Nablus on Friday night, the Israel Defense Forces said. According to the IDF, several bullets hit the post near the West Bank town of Jit, west of Nablus. The button men managed to flee the area. The IDF said troops scanning the area found several shell casings. No soldiers were hurt in the attack. The Nablus-based Lion’s Den terror group grabbed credit for the shooting, saying it was in response to a deadly IDF raid in the West Bank city earlier this week. In recent months, Paleostinian button men — mostly members of Lion’s Den — have repeatedly targeted military posts, troops operating along the West Bank security barrier, Israeli settlements and civilians on the roads. Tensions between Israel and the Paleostinians have been high for the past year, with the IDF conducting near-nightly raids in the West Bank amid a series of deadly Paleostinian terror attacks. A string of attacks in Jerusalem in recent weeks left 11 people dead and several more seriously hurt. Over 60 Paleostinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, most of them while carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under circumstances that are being investigated. |
