Israel arrests 8 Palestinian students suspected of planning terror attack
2023-09-25
[IsraelTimes] 3 shootings at Israeli West Bank targets cause no casualties

Israeli security forces said Sunday they had arrested eight Paleostinian students suspected of planning a terror attack in the immediate future.

The students, from Birzeit University near Ramallah, were nabbed following an investigation into Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, cells in Paleostinian educational institutions, the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet said.

They were allegedly recruited by Hamas operatives in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, receiving weaponry intended for the attack.

Officials said some of the suspects had confessed to the allegations.

Sunday saw reports of three shootings that caused no injuries: gunfire toward the settlement of Hinanit in the northern West Bank, with bullet holes found in a window; and gunfire toward two military positions in the Tulkarem area.

Overnight two Paleostinians were killed and an Israeli soldier was moderately hurt during exchanges of fire near Tulkarem, Paleostinians and the military said.

The Israel Defense Forces said it operated against terror infrastructure in the city’s Nur Shams refugee camp, where it destroyed a command center and dozens of bombs.

Throughout the activity, button men exchanged fire with IDF troops and detonated bombs against them. The army said it fired upon assailants and hit a number of them.

"Two Paleostinians were killed by live Israeli bullets to the head," the Paleostinian health ministry said. It identified the two as Osaid Abu Ali, 22, and Abd al-Rahman Abu Daghash, 32.

An Israeli soldier was moderately hurt by shrapnel. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.
An earlier Times of Israel article about the Nur Shams raid adds:
The raid caused heavy damage to the camp’s main road, severing water pipes and flooding parts of the street. The ground floor of the targeted building was heavily damaged, while part of the exterior wall of the second floor collapsed.

The army said it had used engineering forces to uncover bombs that had been planted under the pavement.

Violence has surged across the region over the past year and a half, with a rise in Paleostinian shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and troops in the West Bank, near-nightly arrest raids by the military, and an uptick in Dire Revenge attacks by krazed killer Jewish settlers against Paleostinians.

Paleostinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank since the beginning of the year have left 27 civilians and three soldiers dead, and several others seriously maimed.

According to a tally by The Times of Israel, 189 West Bank and East Jerusalem Paleostinians have been killed during the same period — the majority during festivities with security forces or while carrying out attacks, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under unclear circumstances, including by armed Israeli settlers.
