Tuesday, 30 December 2008As Operation Cast Lead continued in Gaza on Tuesday, violence also flared up in the West Bank for the second day running.
At the Hawara checkpoint, near Nablus, a Palestinian brandished a knife and tried to stab an IDF soldier. Troops arrested the attacker and transferred him for interrogation. No one was wounded.
Meanwhile, at Kalandia, north of Jerusalem, Palestinians hurled a Molotov cocktail at IDF soldiers. The troops opened fire, hitting one of the assailants. None of the soldiers were hurt.
In addition, a Palestinian teen was caught in possession of a bomb at the Beit Iba checkpoint, northwest of Nablus. Border Police sappers safely detonated the explosive device and the teen was detained by security forces.
On Monday night, an Israeli was lightly wounded when he was stabbed in the neck by a Palestinian near Kedumim, in the West Bank.
Also Monday, a Palestinian laborer stabbed and wounded four Israelis in the West Bank settlement of Modi'in Illit before he was shot and wounded by a volunteer medic, police and rescue officials said. The morning attack in the haredi community, located just over the Green Line adjacent to Modi'in, left one victim seriously wounded, and three others lightly hurt.
