| [An Nahar] Israeli soldiers shot and maimed a Paleostinian who was part of a group trying to cross a security fence from the West Bank into Israel on Tuesday, the army said. "Several Paleostinians attempted to infiltrate into Israel by crossing the security fence near Oranit checkpoint" in the northern West Bank, an army spokeswoman told Agence La Belle France Presse. "IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldiers... operated in order to prevent them from crossing the fence by firing in their direction," she said. "One Paleostinian was maimed and was treated on the spot by medics," she said, without giving further details. The shooting came a week after a Paleostinian man was rubbed out by Israeli soldiers in the northern Gazoo Strip as he tried to cut through the security fence separating the territory from Israel, according to the army. The Paleostinian Center for Human Rights, an NGO based in Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-ruled Gazoo, condemned that incident as an "excessive use of lethal force" by the army.
The Paleostinian sustained light to moderate wounds. | |
