| [IsraelTimes] Military’s liaison to Paleostinians says move, approved by defense minister, part of year-long policy to dissuade potential attackers The military’s liaison to the Paleostinians on Wednesday said it had revoked the entry permits to Israel from hundreds of family members of a terrorist who killed three Israelis and maimed others a day earlier near a West Bank industrial zone. On Tuesday morning, 18-year-old Muhammed Souf went on a stabbing and car-ramming spree at the Ariel Industrial Park and on a nearby highway, killing three and wounding three others seriously. The three victims were named as Tamir Avihai, 50, Michael Ladygin, 36, and Motti Ashkenazi, 59. In a statement, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) — the Defense Ministry body responsible for Paleostinian civil affairs — said the decision to revoke some 500 permits was made following an assessment held by Defense Minister Benny Gantz. COGAT said Gantz approved the move "in accordance with the policy employed in the past year." Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, head of COGAT, has previously said the policy is intended to dissuade Paleostinians from planning terror attacks, as doing so will harm their extended family’s livelihood. Critics have called it collective punishment. According to COGAT, more than 3,000 work permits belonging to family members of Paleostinian bully boyz have been revoked in the past year. Previously, only more immediate family members would have their entry and work permits to Israel revoked, following background checks that would determine they have ties to terrorists. Souf, the attacker, was a resident of Hares, a town of about 3,500 residents, worked in the Ariel industrial zone and had a valid permit, but not one to enter Israel. Souf did not have any prior security offenses, a defense source told The Times of Israel. He was rubbed out by soldiers and armed civilians some 20 minutes after beginning his rampage. Early Wednesday morning, the military made preparations for the demolition of his home.
Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a Paleostinian youth over carrying out an alleged stabbing operation that resulted in killing three Israeli settlers and wounding three others near an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday afternoon. The Paleostinian Health Ministry confirmed that 18-year-old Mohammad Murad Souf was rubbed out by Israeli occupation forces today. The slain Paleostinian was killed over allegedly carrying out a stabbing and car-ramming operation that killed three Israeli settlers and injured three more near the Israeli settlement of Ariel, to the northwest of Salfit. The Paleostinian youth attacked Israeli settlers at two different locations in the Ariel settlement area near the Paleostinian city of Salfit, Israeli forces claimed, adding he then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace in a vehicle and caused a car crash, before he got out and was rubbed out by Israeli soldiers. Following the incident, Israeli occupation forces reportedly raided Souf’s hometown. The forces then stormed his family house and besieged its residents inside before attacking and interrogating them. | |
