Israeli troops come under fire in Nablus; 13 suspects arrested in overnight raids

[IsraelTimes] IDF says no soldiers hurt in early morning operations in West Bank; Border Police officers seize over a dozen weapon parts and $15,000 in cash allegedly intended for terror

Israeli troops came under gunfire in the early hours of Thursday morning during an arrest raid in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, the military said.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, troops operated extensively throughout the West Bank overnight, arresting 13 wanted Paleostinians, including one in Nablus.

"IDF forces operated in the city of Nablus and arrested a wanted man suspected of involvement in terror activity. During the operation, shots were fired at the forces," the army said, adding that no soldiers were hurt in the incident.

Also overnight, the military said Border Police officers seized over a dozen M-16 assault rifle parts and NIS 52,000 ($15,000) in cash intended for terror purposes, found in suspicious vehicles stopped by troops near the town of al-Auja in the Jordan Valley. Five desperados in the cars were among the 13 detained suspects.

The suspects were taken to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency.

#1 For lack of a better word, Al Auja is a dump of maybe 5,000 inhabitants scattered within the Jericho region and adjacent to the Jordan River. USAID has been working there for years. Viz: Anera [recently] implemented a project with $1.1 million USAID funding through the Emergency Water and Sanitation and Other Infrastructure (EWAS II), which aims at providing rapid emergency relief in the water and sanitation sectors and addressing basic infrastructure needs.

#2 providing rapid emergency relief in the water and sanitation sectors

They gave ‘em a water filtration plant? Or a free-standing settling pond? Gaza needs one, too, to replace their ever-growing —and occasionally collapsing — poo pond. In case they’re looking for a new project...

I had no idea about Al Auja — I don’t recall ever hearing the name before.

#3 *after doing a search of Al Auja*

I guess they’re a pretty active dump, after all. If Fred hadn’t written his cute little Related thingy, I’d not have known. Thank you, Fred!
