Israeli Troops Kill 2 Palestinians, Injure 2 in West Bank

Israel continues its policies of abductions in the occupied territories

RAMALLAH, September 10 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) – With world attention directed to the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States, Israel continued its policies in the occupied territories as Israeli troops shot dead 2 Palestinians and injured two others in the West Bank, Palestinian hospital sources said Tuesday, September 10.

The shootout occurred after Israeli forces raided the office of military information in Betunia, in the autonomous Palestinian West Bank area of Ramallah, where their target, Riad Nayef, was working, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported.

Nayef was captured during the attack and was believed to be one of the two men injured.

The injured were evacuated by the Israeli forces while the body of the unnamed fatality, a man in his twenties, was handed over to the Palestinians.

According to witnesses, the Israeli forces also abducted several people.

An Israeli army spokesman confirmed that troops had killed what he called a “terrorist” and injured two others who were captured in Betunia.

The latest death brings the toll from two years of unrest to 2,493, mostly Palestinians.

Another five Palestinians were abducted by the Israeli army Tuesday overnight in the West Bank, military sources said.

Among them was a Nablus leader of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah group, Palestinian security sources said.

Another one was the local leader of the radical Hamas group in the town of Dahariyeh, near the southern city of Hebron, Israeli public radio said.

The latest Israeli aggression came a day after Arafat condemned attacks on Israeli civilians in his parliament speech on Monday, September 9.   

In a speech criticized by Israel, the United States, Islamic resistance factions and even some Palestinian lawmakers, Arafat demanded a return to talks with Israel saying there had been “enough conflict, enough bloodshed”.

“The Palestinian people stand today firmly against all kinds of terrorism, whether it is by states, groups or individuals,” he told the Palestinian parliament, which met for the first time since May 15, although Gaza members, many of them banned by Israel from traveling to Ramallah, took part by video link-up.
