(Ha'aretz) Jonathan Lis - Palestinian policemen opened fire at undercover Israel Defense Forces soldiers during an operation in Bethlehem Tuesday. When the soldiers, disguised as Arabs, came to arrest a wanted man not far from City Hall, the policemen took them for members of an armed Palestinian gang. They opened fire almost immediately after the soldiers got out of their car. In response, the soldiers fired warning shots into the air until an IDF backup force that was waiting nearby rushed to the scene. Sources praised the soldiers' behavior, saying their decision to fire in the air rather than back at the policemen had prevented a far more serious clash. They also said that Israel completely accepts the policemen's explanation that they thought they were shooting at an armed Palestinian gang. "It's hard to believe the Palestinian policemen would have acted similarly had they known this was an IDF force," said one.2005-11-30 00:00:00Full Article
