Riot breaks out as army raids West Bank homes of Jerusalem terrorists
2017-06-18
[IsraelTimes] Trio said to have been planning attack that killed Border Police officer Hadas Malka for months; troops prepare houses for demolition.

Israeli security forces were out in force Saturday in the West Bank village of Deir Abu-Mashal, near Ramallah, home of the three turbans who carried out the stabbing and shooting attacks near Jerusalem’s Old City on Friday.

Officials said army troops temporarily sealed off the village, then raided the men’s homes, where they searched for weaponry, confiscated various documents and questioned family members over the attack.

Soldiers also mapped the homes of the three men in preparation for the likely demolition of the houses, a common Israeli response to attacks.

on suspicion of involvement with the attack.

The army said a riot broke out as forces conducted their operations, with around 200 Paleostinians hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails at soldiers and burning tires as they attempted to block entrances to the village.

The IDF said soldiers responded with mainly non-lethal weapons, and in several specific cases used live fire at the lower bodies of key instigators.

No soldiers were maimed during the violent demonstrations.

The three who carried out the terror attack had apparently been planning it for at least two months, Army Radio reported Saturday.

According to the report, one of the killers, Asama Ahmed Atta, 19, posted a tweet on April 13 in which he said: "We are all temporary. The world is not ours. We just walk in it and leave everything behind. God, assign our lives some good for which we shall meet you."

The other two attackers, Adel Ankush, 18, Bra’a Salah, 19, responded with "Amen" and "God, Amen," the radio said, adding that the post seems to indicate their desire to die in an attack.

The Shin Bet said all three had in the past been arrested for or involved in "popular terror activity."

The military said the operations in Deir Abu-Mashal were not intended as collective punishment, and were carried out for operational and security reasons.

Officials noted that attacks originating from a certain village have often been followed by another attack from that same village, in Dire Revenge for the killing of the assailants. The army’s actions were intended to stave off such an eventuality, they said.

A Facebook page run by members of the village posted a photo of the three assailants on Friday night, praising them: "Glory and immortality to our righteous deaders." It also carried various messages of support which page administrators claimed came from nearby villages.

"The payments made by the Paleostinian Authority to turbans and their families encourage heinous attacks like we saw today," Dannon said of the attack, in which Border Police officer Hadas Malka was killed and four others injured. "I call on the Security Council to condemn this terror attack immediately."

#4  You did not include the link, Zenobia F, so I was forced to look it up. It's here. But how you got any meaning from that context is beyond me.

In Islam?" "O slow catechumen,
For most, reproduction,
But you? Try destruction,
Say, three on one killing a woman."

Shipman, that cost me, like, five minutes of concentrated mental effort (for which I will not soon forgive you). Only hit: Rantburg, 2007. Couple more minutes till I got it from context... and it turns out to be a local acro-macro. Send my amyloid plaque to...
