| [IsraelTimes] Soldiers nabs 2 suspected of breaking through barrier, firing shots; overnight, 5 suspected Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", members tossed in the calaboose. Israeli troops incarcerated Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! a pair of Paleostinians who are suspected of firing a homemade gun into the air after breaking through a checkpoint in the West Bank on Tuesday, the army said. Earlier, a car burst through a checkpoint set up outside the Ofra settlement, northeast of Ramallah, while one of its occupants shot into the air. No one was injured, and no damage was caused, the army said. "An IDF force gave chase after the car and caught two suspects inside it, who were in possession of a makeshift weapon," the army said. A picture of the gun, provided by the military, shows a slapdash device, apparently constructed from water pipes and held together with duct tape. The two were handed over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning. Overnight, IDF troops arrested eight Paleostinian suspects across the West Bank, the army said. Five of them were suspected members of the Hamas terrorist group, picked up in Hebron, Tulkarem and the Jalazoun refugee camp. The rest are believed to have taken part in so-called "popular terrorism," a catch-all term used by the military that generally refers to rock throwing or participating in violent protests.
