IDF bangs Paleo near Jenin |
2005-09-23 |
Israeli forces yesterday evacuated an old army base in the northern West Bank used last as a staging area for removing settlers and protesters from two settlements last month, but soldiers shot dead a young Palestinian who entered the base too quickly. Yesterday morning, Allah Khamtouni, 19, and nine other Palestinians went into the Dotan base near the Palestinian town of Jenin, mistakenly thinking it had been abandoned, Palestinian officials said. Israeli Col. Shmulik Kalmi said Khamtouni ran into the base with a group of people. Soldiers fired warning shots in the air, but the infiltrators did not halt, he said. Fearing the Palestinians might be planning a suicide bombing, the soldiers fired at Khamtouni’s legs, but he bent down as they fired, was hit in the shoulder and died, Kalmi said. Late yesterday afternoon, the last troops left Dotan and Palestinians flooded in, grabbing what debris and construction materials they could, before Palestinian police opened fire on the scavengers, wounding three in the legs, witnesses said. About 60 uniformed police restored order. |

#3 Bear with me for just a moment: Allah Khamtouni ...Don't put an innocuous swirl on top of an ice cream container or we'll scream jihad - but name your KID after God, and it's all good? Man, these folks are hard to figure out. Mike |

#2 Maybe the Paleos were deaf? Those awful Israeli hearists, ruthlessly imposing their tympanic membrane-centric paradigm... |
