Two Border Guard Officers Wounded In Rachel's Tomb
2014-03-24
[Ynet] Forces pelted with stones, IEDs in riot in Paleostinian refugee camp north of Bethlehem, sustain light to moderate injuries.

Two Border Guard officers were maimed after being pelted by stones thrown at the force near Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem, only a day after an IDF raid left three Paleostinian snuffies dead in Jenin.

The two soldiers sustained light to moderate injuries and were evacuated to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.

Israeli police spokesperson Luba al-Samri was quoted by Paleostinian news agency Ma'an say saying that Paleostinian youths threw "improvised bombs" and Molotov cocktails towards members of the Border Guard in the Aida refugee camp north of Bethlehem, but the soldiers reportedly sustained their injuries from stones thrown at them from rooftops.

The agency also claimed that some eight Paleostinians were maimed.

The incident took place two days after a joint operation by the IDF, Shin Bet, and an elite Border Guard counter-terrorism unit (Yamam) killed three Paleostinians in Jenin, among them 22-year-old Hamza Abu Al-Haija, the son of a senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, official in the West Bank.

The incident sparked a protest by some 150 Paleostinian youths who demonstrated near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem's Old City Saturday night. Several dozens of them started throwing stones at police. No one was injured. Police forces dispersed the crowd and three protesters have been incarcerated
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
Overnight Friday, Israeli force circled Al-Haija house and ordered the 22-year-old krazed killer to exit peacefully, but he refused to come out, attempting to evade the IDF force. According to the IDF, the terrorist began shooting at the soldiers with a M-16 assault rifle, who returned fire. The 22 year old was killed and two special forces soldiers were lightly injured in the operation.

Al-Hija's father -- Gamal -- is one of the top Hamas representatives in the West Bank, currently serving a life sentence in prison. Among the Paleostinian casualties was Mahmoud Abu Zina from the military wing of Islamic Jihad
