| [IsraelTimes] Health officials in Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-ruled enclave say 16-year-old was shot by Israeli soldiers A Paleostinian teenager was reportedly killed during festivities between protesters and IDF soldiers along the Gazoo border fence on Friday. The Israeli military said violent festivities broke out in several areas near the security fence as soldiers tried to prevent damage to the structure. The army said soldiers opened fire on a number of protesters leading the disturbances and was looking into the reported death. The Health Ministry in Gazoo, ruled by the Paleostinian terror group Hamas, said Abdulrahman Abu Hmeisa, 16, was killed in the festivities east of the al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gazoo Strip. Earlier on Friday, a Paleostinian man who tried to stab Israeli soldiers at the Gush Etzion Junction was rubbed out, the Israeli military said. The Paleostinian arrived at the scene armed with a knife and ran toward IDF soldiers," the army said in a statement. "Forces fired shots at the assailant. No injuries to IDF forces were reported." The assailant was identified by Paleostinian media as Abdullah Takaatka, 24, from Bethlehem. Paleostinian rioting was reported on Friday in several locations in the West Bank, including in nearby Bethlehem and Hebron. Prayers in and around the Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem’s Old City, however, ended peacefully. On Friday, extra police and border guard officers were deployed to Jerusalem hotspots, and the military beefed up its presence in the West Bank, a week after heavy festivities in the capital and West Bank left five Paleostinians dead and saw a Paleostinian terrorist stab to death three Israelis at their Shabbat meal in the West Bank settlement of Halamish.
[Al Jazeera] A Paleostinian has been rubbed out after allegedly attempting to stab Israeli soldiers north of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli army reported the incident on Friday, but added that none of its soldiers were maimed. The Israeli army published a picture of the man's identity card. It showed that the alleged attacker was 24- year-old Abdullah Taqatqa from Bethlehem. Paleostinian witnesses told local media that "Israeli forces shot at him while he was around 20 metres away from them" and that Taqatqa "didn't have any type of knife with him or any kind of weapon". The incident occurred at the Gush Etzion junction near a large bloc of Israeli settlements south of Bethlehem. It comes amid soaring tensions between Israeli authorities and Paleostinians over discriminatory restrictions in place at al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem. | |
