| [IsraelTimes] Israeli army says troops raided West Bank town of Halhul to investigate a business suspected of terror financing; PA identifies deceased as Mahmoud Fayez Abu Ayhor, 27 A 27-year-old Paleostinian man was shot and killed by Israeli troops during festivities on Thursday afternoon in Halhul, near Hebron in the West Bank, the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said. According to the Israeli military, fighting broke out while troops were carrying out a raid on a Halhul business suspected of financing the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, terror group. Some NIS 1.1 million ($330,000) was confiscated during the operation and the business’s doors were welded shut, the army said. "A riot broke out in which dozens of Paleostinians threw stones, bombs, and Molotov cocktails at Israeli troops, who used riot control means and gunfire. Hits were identified," the Israeli army said. The PA Health Ministry identified the dead Paleostinian man as Mahmoud Fayez Abu Ayhor. Hamas hailed Abu Ayhor as a "heroic martyr," but did not claim him as a member of the terror group. Paleostinian health officials say three other Paleostinians were rushed to al-Ahli Hospital in Hebron after being struck by live fire. Another two were maimed with rubber bullets, according to the PA Health Ministry. In another video from the scene, soldiers can be seen arresting a Paleostinian suspect — identified by a Paleostinian prisoners’ group as Majdi Abu Yusef — in Halhul. The Israeli army said some Paleostinians were detained during the raid but all were subsequently released. Nine terror suspects were detained in separate predawn operations Thursday, the army said. Tensions between Israel and the Paleostinians have seethed in recent months. A deadly wave of terror attacks in Israeli cities claimed the lives of 19 people between late March and mid-May. The military stepped up its West Bank activities in an attempt to crack down on the spiraling violence. At least 30 Paleostinians were killed over the same period, according to Paleostinian health officials. According to the PA, 62 Paleostinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank and East Jerusalem so far this year. Both tallies include many killed while committing |
