Palestinian Gunmen "Planning Significant Attacks" Killed in West Bank City of Jenin
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Israeli forces on Wednesday sought to arrest Abd al-Rahman Hazem, the brother of Raed Hazem, the terrorist who killed three civilians on Tel Aviv's Dizengoff street in April. Hazem and Muhammed Alownah were responsible for a series of shooting attacks in recent months. Israeli officials said the pair planned "more significant attacks in the near future." Israeli troops had surrounded Hazem's home in Jenin. The wanted gunmen set off a large bomb as troops attempted to enter the home. "Hazem and Alownah were killed in the exchange of fire," police said. The PA said another two people were killed in the clashes, and 44 others were hurt. Ahmed Alawneh, 24, a member of the PA security forces, was killed as he was firing at Israeli troops.
