| [IsraelTimes] Border Police say forces entered Aqabat Jabr refugee camp to arrest wanted man; Paleostinian button men also target IDF post near Yabed for 3rd time in days Two Paleostinian button men were killed early Tuesday during an exchange of fire with Israeli forces amid a raid in the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp, close to the West Bank city of Jericho, Israeli defense officials and Paleostinian health officials said. A Border Police front man said undercover officers entered Aqabat Jabr to detain a wanted Paleostinian man and to search for weapons at his home. During the raid, Paleostinian button men shot up the forces, the front man said, adding that the undercover officers returned fire, killing two. The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said 16-year-old Qusay Omar Suleiman ... Now former Vice president of Egypt. From 1993 until his appointment to that office in 2011 he was Minister without Portfolio and Director of the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate (EGID)... al-Walaji and 25-year-old Muhammed Ribihi Nujoom were both fatally shot in the chest. Police later published a video showing the officers exchanging fire with Paleostinians in the refugee camp. The IDF, meanwhile, said that troops detained eight wanted Paleostinians during sweeps across the West Bank early Tuesday, with violence in some areas. Late Monday night, Paleostinian button men opened fire from the northern West Bank town of Yabed at a nearby IDF post, for the third time in four days. The military said the troops at the post, who were unharmed, returned fire at the source of the shooting. Paleostinians targeted the same IDF post on Sunday and Friday, without causing any injuries. |
