18-year-old Eliahu Asheri, an "Israeli" settler who was captured earlier this week was found dead overnight in the West Bank city of Ramallah, as the "Israeli" occupation forces pressed their incursion into Gaza.
Palestinian security sources confirmed that the "Israeli" settler, who was reported missing Sunday from the West Bank, was recovered overnight by "Israeli" troops.
On Wednesday, the armed Popular Resistance Committees had displayed a photocopy of the identity papers of Asheri and threatened to execute him unless the Jewish state ends its recent offensive in the Gaza Strip, which forced thousands of Palestinians to abandon the city seeking a safe shelter.
Adding to the current tensions, the "Israeli" army arrested eight Hamas ministers, one-third of the 24-member Hamas-led Cabinet as well as 20 Palestinian lawmakers, including Deputy Prime Minister Nasser Shaer and Labor Minister Mohammed Barghouti, Palestinian security officials said, adding that the "Israeli" forces attacked a building in Ramallah where the ministers had gathered for the night, as well as sites in the southern West Bank city of Hebron (al-Khalil).
Hamas-led government slammed the latest "Israeli" incursion into Gaza as "military madness" and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas branded it collective punishment.
