‘Two Palestinians killed by Israeli troops’

The Israeli prime minister also argued that the nations themselves were not to blame for the duo of attacks – but rather the attackers themselves should receive the blame. “The accusations that Israel and and the U.S. are behind ISIS attacks and benefit from them has also been voiced before”, the website reports.

The Red Crescent denied the allegation.

Netanyahu said Israel is no more blame for the terror against it than France is.

“Our ambulance reached the scene, and the military refused to allow them and threatened them and told them to leave”, he said. The mother had light injuries to the chest and limbs; a son sustained a gunshot wound in the leg and three young girls had minor scratches, he said. In response to the immediate danger, forces fired towards the attackers.

It said in the statement that one of the suspects “during the investigation… associated himself in the involvement in the attack” on Friday in the occupied West Bank.

The current round of violence erupted mid-September at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site and quickly spread to the West Bank, Israeli cities and the Gaza border.

In an op-ed published Sunday, a writer for Al Hayat Al Jadida (the Palestinian Authority organ), pointed to Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, as one of the main perpetrators behind the attacks. Palestinians say the violence is due to a lack of hope for gaining independence.

Demolition of the Abu Shahin home this morning follows the demolition of four Palestinian-owned homes over the weekend of Palestinians accused of carrying out attacks on Israelis last month.

“Cases of excessive use of force by Israeli forces against Palestinians, including a few which appear to amount to summary executions, continue to be reported”, said the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Palestinian Territories, Makarim Wibisono, and the expert on summary executions, Christof Heyns.

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

According to Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Mohammed Awawdeh, a 21-year-old and a 28-year-old were killed during an exchange of gunfire between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops at the Qalandia refugee camp. And earlier Friday, a Palestinian died of wounds sustained in clashes the previous day.

“In addition, hundreds of Palestinians attacked the force, hurling fire bombs, IEDs and rocks”. Later, young residents of the camp clashed with Israeli soldiers manning a checkpoint nearby.

“I call on the entire civilized world to unite to defeat the plague of worldwide terrorism”.
