Palestinian pulls knife on troops in West Bank, is shot and killed
2016-12-09
[IsraelTimes] No Israelis hurt during attempted assault at Tapuah Junction bus stop; attacker identified as Qalqilya teen.

A Paleostinian assailant attempted to stab Israeli guards at a West Bank junction Thursday morning and was shot and killed by coppers, police said.

No Israelis were hurt in the attempted stabbing attack at a bus stop at the Tapuah Junction in the northern West Bank.

Police spokesperson Luba Samri said the assailant, identified by Paleostinian media as 19-year-old Muhammad Jihad Hussein Harb, from the Niqar neighborhood in the West Bank city of Qalqilya,
...Qalqilya has provided a lot of the dead bodies and arrestees for the current round of excitements. Its mayor is a Fatah man, which may have something to do with it....
alighted from a bus at the junction and began moving toward Border Police guards there.

After ignoring orders to stop, the man "continued to move toward them and at a certain point even pulled a knife out and attacked them," Samri said in a statement.

He was shot and killed.
Darwin wins again.
Security forces are regularly stationed at and near the junction, which has been a flashpoint of violence over the past year.

Israel arrests Palestinian yoots over shooting attacks

[IsraelTimes] Israeli security forces arrested three Palestinian teenagers suspected of carrying out four shooting attacks on an army outpost in the central West Bank last month, the Shin Bet domestic security service revealed Wednesday. The families of the suspects were also brought in for allegedly helping the trio hide the makeshift weapons used in the attacks.

The three suspects are minors, so their identities were not revealed.

The four attacks took place at an army post outside the Ofra settlement, north of Ramallah. According to the IDF, the group was based in Silwad, a Palestinian town located just north of Ofra.
The village of Silwad has a bit of a history here at Rantburg. It is the hometown of Hamas head honcho Khaled Mashaal, though some of the residents have been members of Fatah's Tanzim. This no doubt has something to do with its disproportionate representation here.
No soldiers were injured in the attacks, though the Shin Bet found the attacks to be an example of the risk posed to Israeli security from locally produced weapons.

“The work of this cell, which was exposed by the investigation, shows the high level of threat by terror cells, which operate based of local initiative, with access to weapons and the manufacturing of guns,” the Shin Bet said in a statement.

The homemade guns were found in a joint operation by IDF soldiers and Israel Police officers in the front yard of one home and in a storage room of another.

The security service handed over its findings to a military prosecutor, who is expected to file an indictment in the coming days.
