Undercover Israeli forces infiltrated a group of Palestinians protesters this afternoon near a checkpoint outside of Ramallah in the West Bank and opened fire on the demonstrators, wounding one. Meanwhile unformed Israeli soldiers wounded two more protesters with live rounds, critically injuring one by firing a shot into the back of the protester’s head.
Video of the incident published by journalist Ahmad Jarghoun (above) and AFP (below) reveal eight Israeli security forces dressed as protesters with their faces covered, and one with a Hamas flag. After participating in the protest confronting uniformed soldiers and throwing stones, the undercover forces suddenly drew their weapons against the Palestinian demonstrators. The Israeli forces began backing up towards the Beit El checkpoint and a cluster of army Jeeps. Palestinians sprinted in the opposite direction. Next a group of five undercovers are filmed detaining a Palestinian by throwing the youth to the ground, and punching and kicking him. While in custody one of the officers shoots the Palestinian in the leg. He is then dragged away, bleeding from his face, and soldiers detained him for questioning. Later the youth was transferred to an Israeli medical facility. The other two protesters wounded by Israeli sniper-fire were also brought to an Israeli hospital for treatment. With Palestinian universities on strike over the recent killings of youths in clashes with Israeli forces, student groups organized a mid-day protest at the Beit El checkpoint, a point of nightly confrontations over the past week. A journalist covering the demonstration told Mondoweiss on the condition of anonymity that around 300 Palestinians participated in the protest with approximately a third of the group throwing stones. Within that smaller group were the undercover officers. “When I passed by the guys, the infiltrators, I was sure they were Palestinian,” said the journalist who overheard the undercover Israeli forces speaking fluent Arabic. “Nobody had a real discussion with them. It was clashes, it was very loud and there were sound grenades everywhere,” he said. What’s more, in the hour leading up to the protest, the journalist spotted the undercover agents in front of a grocery store in an upscale Ramallah neighborhood, with faces uncovered, walking towards the demonstration. |
A spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) described the protest as a “riot” and stated Palestinians “were hurling firebombs and rocks as well as rolling burring tires and shooting fireworks at IDF forces. The force also reported hearing gunshots fired at them”
“The main instigator was taken at the scene and taken for questioning,” the spokesperson said.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) stormed at dawn Wednesday the homes of three Palestinian detainees suspected in the shooting attack that took place Sunday in Nablus.
Anatolia News Agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that a large number of Israeli soldiers stormed and violently searched early today three homes in Nablus.
The homes belong to the three Palestinian detainees who were recently arrested for being allegedly involved in the shooting attack that resulted in the killing of an Israeli military official and his wife last week.
A neighboring home was also stormed and searched, the sources added.
Earlier Monday, the Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) claimed the arrest of a “Hamas cell” that was behind the Itamar shooting attack.
The cell groups five men who are all residents of the West Bank city of Nablus.
Local analysts charged that the cell arrest is linked to the security coordination between Israeli and PA security forces.
For his part, Deputy Head of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) Dr. Ahmed Bahar said that the arrest of the five persons refutes PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s statements at the UN General Assembly in which he declared he is no longer bound by the Oslo security and political accords.
The cell arrest constitutes a new crime in the Israeli-Palestinian security coordination crimes record, he added.

Israel Vows Crackdown on Hamas Murder Suspects
On Monday night, Israeli forces arrested five alleged Hamas members over the shooting of a settler couple in the West Bank city of Nablus, as the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged an “iron fist” against them.
As IOF announced the kidnapping of the alleged Hamas members over last week’s shooting of the settler couple near the Israeli settlement of Etimar and Yetzhar, Netanyahu said that “no attackers were beyond reach,” AFP reported.
“We are not prepared to give immunity to anybody, not to any rioter… or any ‘terrorist’, anywhere, and therefore there are no limits on the activities of the security forces,” he said ahead of a special session of his security cabinet.
A joint statement by the Israeli police, army and Shin Bet domestic security agency said, according to PNN's report, that the five men arrested were members of militant group Hamas and had confessed to shooting the Israeli couple in their car in the West Bank.
AFP said that Netanyahu is under pressure from right-wingers in his governing coalition because he is not doing enough to curb Palestinian resistance.
