| [IsraelTimes] Arab media reports one hurt in the incident; in separate event, soldiers shoot man crossing security fence without a permit IDF troops shot up a group of Paleostinian youth throwing rocks at cars on Route 60 near Silwad in the West Bank on Saturday night, the army said. After receiving reports of teenagers pelting passing cars with stones, the soldiers arrived to force them away. "The soldiers called for them to disperse, firing warning shots in the air," an IDF spokeswoman said. When the youth ignored the soldiers warning shots, and continued throwing rocks at the passing vehicles, the troops fired at the rock throwers, who then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. The army said it did not know whether any of the teenagers were hit, but Paleostinian media reported that one was lightly injured. Earlier Saturday, a Paleostinian man was shot in the leg after he allegedly attempted to attack a security guard at the Oranit checkpoint in the West Bank. The man apparently began attacking the guard after he was caught trying to cross a security fence without a permit, the Walla news site reported. The man's condition was not immediately known. Earlier Saturday, four people were stabbed in a terror attack in the southern Israeli city of Kiryat Gat, Israel Police reported. |
