PA says security officer killed ‘by treacherous and cowardly gunfire’ in Jenin during clashes with terrorists
[IsraelTimes] A Palestinian Authorities officer was killed during clashes with terrorists in the West Bank, the PA security forces announce, marking the second such death in as many days amid ongoing fighting in the Jenin area.“The officer was killed after he was targeted by treacherous and cowardly gunfire from outlaws in the Jenin camp,” Anwar Rajab, spokesman for the PA’s security force says in a statement. The incident comes amid a PA crackdown against terror groups in Jenin, which the PA says is to restore security and stability to the area and comes as Ramallah appears to be trying to signal that it could play a significant role in managing a postwar Gaza Strip. Palestinian rivals of the Fatah party, which dominates the PA, have condemned the arrests and accused the security forces of aiding Israel. In addition to the two security personnel, three people have been killed since the clashes began on December 5 — two civilians and a field commander of the Jenin armed battalion.
