Video: Border Police Come Under Attack in West Bank, Three Palestinians Killed
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin, Khaled Abu Toameh, and Tovah Lazaroff - A large-scale Palestinian attack against Israeli security forces in Kalandiya on Monday, in which rioters shot at army jeeps and hurled washing machines and large concrete blocks from rooftops, left three Palestinians dead. A senior army source said forces were sent to arrest a senior terrorist figure who dealt in weapons and organized past disturbances in Kalandiya, north of Jerusalem. Palestinian gunfire was directed at the jeeps, and four bullet holes were later discovered in the vehicles. The source said the soldiers acted properly, proportionally, and in line with the rules of engagement. "This could have ended with many more casualties had the soldiers acted differently," he said.
