A member of a radical Palestinian organization injured two police officers in east Jerusalem. The shooter himself is said to have been killed.
After the terrorist attacks in the Israeli border area and Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip, violence also broke out in Jerusalem. In an attack with a firearm in the east of the city, a “terrorist” seriously injured a police officer and slightly injured another, Israeli security forces said on Thursday evening. The shooter was “neutralized.”
According to Palestinian sources, he was killed. The radical Palestinian organization PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) claimed responsibility for the attack. It propagates the armed struggle against Israel, but unlike Hamas, which rules in the Gaza Strip, is not religious. Israeli police initially did not provide any information about the identity of the attacker. According to media reports, he came from Beit Hanina in the West Bank.
Two Palestinians died in a confrontation with Israeli settlers and soldiers in a town south of Nablus on Thursday, the Health Ministry in Ramallah said. In addition, soldiers near Ramallah shot a woman in her car for reasons that were initially unclear. In addition, a 17-year-old reportedly died in clashes with soldiers west of Nablus. A 22-year-old man was also killed by soldiers in this area late on Thursday evening for reasons that were initially unclear. There was initially no information from the Israeli side about these incidents. At least 35 Palestinians have been killed in several incidents in the West Bank since Saturday.
Terrorists carried out a massacre of Israeli civilians on behalf of Hamas on Saturday. Israel responded with heavy airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
