| [IsraelTimes] During raid in Nablus, military says troops wound, arrest Abdel Kamel Jouri and Osama Taweel, who allegedly killed Staff Sgt. Ido Baruch in October 2022 West Bank attack A Paleostinian man was killed in festivities with Israeli troops as they arrested two members of the Nablus-based Lion’s Den terror group in the pre-dawn hours of Monday. The men are accused of carrying out a shooting attack in the northern West Bank in October 2022, killing a soldier. In a joint statement with Border Police and the Shin Bet security agency, the Israel Defense Forces said forces entered Nablus and arrested Abdel Kamel Jouri and Osama Taweel, who were in a hideout apartment in the West Bank city. Another three suspects were detained with them, the IDF said. During the raid, the IDF said Paleostinian button men — including the desperados — opened fire on the Israeli forces, from the elite Duvdevan unit and the Golani Brigade’s Reconnaissance Battalion. Both Jouri and Taweel were maimed by the IDF before being detained. Their conditions were not immediately clear. The IDF said troops also seized two M16 assault rifles from the desperados, suspected to have been used in the deadly October attack. Lion’s Den in a statement said its members had opened fire on Israeli troops. Separately, the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy reported that one Paleostinian man was killed and another seven were maimed during the festivities. The slain man was identified by Paleostinian media as Amir Bustami. Jouri and Taweel are accused of killing Staff Sgt. Ido Baruch of the Givati infantry brigade’s reconnaissance unit, on October 11. Baruch was shot by the button men while securing a march held by settlers near the Paleostinian town of Sebastia. He was stationed near an interchange close to the nearby settlement of Shavei Shomron. The button men shot up Baruch from a passing vehicle and expeditiously departed at a goodly pace at a high speed, according to the IDF’s probe of the shooting. He was taken at death's door to a hospital, where he later died. A military investigation into the shooting pointed to "several errors" made by troops. Baruch’s family was updated on the arrests early Monday. In recent months, Paleostinian button men, mostly members of the Nablus-based Lion’s Den, have repeatedly targeted military posts, troops operating along the West Bank security barrier, Israeli settlements and civilians on the roads. Tensions have been high as the IDF has pressed on with an anti-terror offensive mostly focused on the northern West Bank to deal with a series of attacks that left 31 people in Israel dead in 2022, and another 10 since the beginning of the year. The IDF’s operation has netted more than 2,500 arrests in near-nightly raids. It also left 171 Paleostinians dead in 2022, and another 46 since the beginning of the year, many of them while carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces, though some were uninvolved civilians. There has also been a rise in Dire Revenge attacks by Israelis against Paleostinians following recent terror attacks. Also early Monday, Israeli fighter jets targeted an underground weapons facility in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip in response to a rocket launch from the Paleostinian enclave on Saturday evening, the military said. |
