Israeli Troops Kill Two Palestinians in West Bank Violence

Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency later arrested five Palestinians it said were part of a Hamas cell that had carried out the attack.

The home targeted was that of Mohammed Abu Shahin, accused of shooting dead Israeli hiker Danny Gonen, 25, in June.

“The terrorists who attack us have the same murderous intent as those in Paris”, Netanyahu said.

Palestinians say Israel’s attempt to link their liberation struggle and the Paris attacks is cynical and misleading, and seeks to shield Israel from the condemnation it deserves for 48 years of military occupation. According to the writer, Israel had been seeking retaliation for recent European Union guidelines labeling products from Israeli settlements.

“The wise and correct thing is to look for who benefits”, the author stated.

In opinion columns and editorial cartoons, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, the official news organ of the West Bank government’s latest cockamamie conspiracy is that Israel’s secret service plotted the horrific attacks.

The Israeli soldiers assaulted the paramedics in the camp, the ministry confirmed.

The army said Palestinians opened fire at the forces who returned fire at the attackers.

Israeli undercover forces on Tuesday detained three Palestinian schoolchildren from the Ras al-Amud area of Silwan neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem, witnesses said.

“The youths went out and began to clash with them in an attempt to stop them from entering further into the camp”, he said.

Mr. Manasra said the forces had spread into every alley of the crowded camp and had placed snipers on rooftops. The soldiers returned fire and there were no casualties among the troops. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said in September that Jews are “defiling” the complex with their “filthy feet” and that he blesses “every drop of blood that has been shed for Jerusalem”. By then, he said, Laith had died.

“There were hundreds of soldiers everywhere”, he told AFP.

A tense calm settled over the camp after Israeli forces withdrew, as dozens of young men came to inspect Abu Shaheen’s destroyed home and the damage surrounding it. “Be it destroying houses in Nablus and killing our children by Israel or hitting a Russian plane over Egypt. The Paris attacks are criminal acts done by coward terrorists”. One portrays Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helping an ISIS terrorist near the Eiffel Tower aim his machine gun.

– Deterrent or collective punishment?

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyal al-Maliki, speaking on Voice of Palestine radio, described the Qalandia incident as “clear escalation, clear assassination” by Israel. The Syrian civil war and rise of the Islamic State militant group have largely pushed the Palestinian issue off the worldwide agenda.

They demolished the home of Muhammed Abu Shaheen, now imprisoned in an Israeli jail for his alleged role in a July shooting attack that killed an Israeli settler.
