| [IsraelTimes] Troops exchange fire with gunnies in Paleostinian city; Ezz Touqan and Nidal Tabanjeh detained over drive-by shooting that injured 2 soldiers in March Two Paleostinians suspected of carrying out a drive-by shooting attack on IDF soldiers in the town of Huwara in March were arrested by IDF forces in Nablus Monday morning, the army said. Soldiers operating in the Northern West Bank city on Monday were met with gunfire and responded. In the exchange, two Paleostinian button men were killed, multiple media reports said. The military said it confiscated the vehicle used in the March attack, as well as a weapon, ammunition and other "military equipment." The two arrested men were identified by Paleostinian media as Ezz Touqan and Nidal Tabanjeh. In a separate incident, IDF forces arrested an individual suspected of involvement in terrorist activity in the central West Bank village of Wadi Siman. No IDF soldiers were maimed in either operation. In late March two Israeli soldiers were maimed in a drive-by shooting attack in the northern West Bank town of Huwara. According to the Israel Defense Forces, the two soldiers were hit by gunfire while securing the Route 60 highway in the town, south of the West Bank city of Nablus. Huwara has seen multiple Paleostinian shooting attacks on Israelis in recent weeks, as well as settler attacks on Paleostinians. |
