’Israeli’ Troops Murders Palestinian in W Bank

Local Editor

Another heroic operation in the occupied West Bank as a Palestinian stabbed and injured a Zionist settler Sunday at a petrol station. "Israeli" authorities reported that they had shot dead the Palestinian man.

The Zionist police purportedly shot the man on a busy highway outside al-Quds [Jerusalem] to "prevent" him from escaping after the stabbing operation.

Furthermore, police said that the Palestinian identified as 26-year-old Anes Tah from the nearby village of Khirbet al-Misbah died of a leg wound shortly after the attack.

They said in a statement that the stabbing casualty, a 26-year-old man was wounded in the shoulder as he was filling his car.

The petrol station where the incident took place is on the busy highway 443, southwest of Ramallah, a major artery between al-Quds and Tel Aviv, which cuts through the besieged West Bank for several kilometers.

In a later statement the army said it believed another three Palestinians might have been involved in the operation and troops were scouring the area.

The operation took place as tensions in the besieged West Bank soared in the wake of the deadly firebombing of a Palestinian home, attributed to Zionist extremists.

An 18-month-old boy was martyred in the July 31 arson price tag attack in the West Bank village of Duma and his father died in hospital Saturday from horrific burns over 80 percent of his body.

Accordingly, the attack was the third to occur over the last week.

Last Thursday, three "Israeli" soldiers were wounded in a vehicular operation in the north of Ramallah.
