Four Paleos killed in West Bank
NABLUS, West Bank - Israeli soldiers shot dead three Palestinian militants and a teenager in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, medical and security sources said. Two militants from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a group loosely affiliated to ineffectual Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas’s Fatah party, were shot and killed in the northern town of Nablus, the faction said.

Amer Qalbuny, 21, was killed in a shootout with Israeli soldiers and Wuahel Awad, 21, died from his wounds after the clash. “We identified hitting two armed men,” an Israeli military spokeswoman said.
Nice shooting, Avi.
A 17-year-old Palestinian was killed near the controversial barrier being built by Israel across the West Bank, medical and security sources said. Taha Mohammed Qalajawi was shot by Israeli gunfire near the barrier at Qalandiya between Jerusalem and the West Bank political capital of Ramallah. He was taken to hospital in Ramallah where he was pronounced dead.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said soldiers had opened fire at the ”lower body parts” of a Palestinian who was attempting to cross the barrier and was subsequently evacuated by the Red Moon Shaped Thingy Crescent.

A fourth Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces during an arrest operation to capture two wanted militants in the northern town of Tulkarem. Jasser Abu Zgheib, from Al-Aqsa, was shot while trying to run away flee and was evacuated to an Israeli hospital where he died, an Israeli military source said. A second suspected member of Islamic Jihad, also shot while trying to escape, was being treated in another Israeli hospital, the source added.
