The Paleostinian village, located near the city of Nablus, has been the site of a number of stabbings and car ramming attacks against Israeli soldiers, while the Tapuah Junction, just a few miles away, has been a focal point of attacks against Israeli civilians for years.
During that same period more than 15,000 Paleostinians and 350 Israelis were maimed, the UN said on Wednesday. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-01-01 |
