ALBAWABA - Israeli media announced that a special troop of Yamam forces has detained the Palestinian that executed the shooting yesterday in the West Bank city of Hebron, which resulted in the killing of one settler and left one with serious injuries.
Following a shooting near the Kiryat Arba settlement in Hebron, Israeli forces closed all entrances to the southern West Bank city of Hebron and nearby towns and villages.
A large army force sealed off the area and all entrances to nearby Palestinian towns and villages causing serious traffic jams across the city. Israeli army similarly imposed a collective besiege on the northern West Bank city of Nablus and area towns and villages following an attack on Saturday in the town of Hawara, south of Nablus, that left two Israelis dead.
The army closed all entrances to Nablus city and nearby towns, preventing movement, while raiding homes allegedly in search of the shooter that carried out the Hawara attack.
This siege resulted in heavy clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians in Hebron, where dozens of people were seriously injured as a result of toxic tear gas fired by Israeli military forces in different parts of Hebron city and at the entrances to towns and villages in the district.
Israeli forces reportedly set up bases at the Beit Kahil and Halhul Bridges, as well as in the city center's Bab al-Zawyeh neighborhood, and attacked Palestinians with stun grenades and tear gas canisters. Dozens of people were treated at the scene for tear gas inhalation and suffocation.
Also, earlier this morning a Palestinian teen died of his wounds he sustained from Israeli forces during a military raid in the town of al-Zababdeh, south of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
According to the head of al-Razi Hospital in Jenin, Fawaz Hamad, died after suffering severe injuries during the confrontations that broke out amidst the Israeli army raid of the village.
