  • 2 Israeli soldiers wounded in West Bank drive-by shooting

    2 Israeli soldiers wounded in West Bank drive-by shooting

    [ad_1]

    Jerusalem: Two Israeli soldiers were injured in a drive-by shooting attack in the West Bank, the Israeli military announced.

    The shooting attack occurred on Saturday evening in the village of Huwara, which in recent weeks has become a flashpoint of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    According to a statement from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), one of the soldiers was severely injured and the other suffered moderate wounds. Both were evacuated to a hospital in central Israel, Xinhua news agency reported.

    The statement said roadblocks have been set up in the northern West Bank to find the perpetrators. There was no claim of responsibility from any Palestinian militant organisation.

    The latest incident comes amid continued tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. According to official figures from both sides, about 90 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the year and 15 Israelis have been killed.

    In response to attacks, the Israeli military has increased its incursions into the West Bank in recent months, increasing the friction.

    Israeli media reported that Defence Minister Yoav Gallant will be holding security consultations on Saturday night with senior military commanders in order to discuss the ramifications of the continued tensions.

    The shooting comes during the Muslim month of Ramadan and ahead of the Jewish holiday of Passover, a time in which there are growing fears of further escalation.

    Iran: 239 wounded in 5.6-magnitude quake

    [ad_1]

    Tehran: The number of the injured people in the 5.6-magnitude earthquake that rocked northwestern Iran two days back reached 239, state media reported.

    The quake, which occurred near Khoy County in the province of West Azarbaijan at 6:46 a.m. local time (0316 GMT), has a depth of 8 km, according to the Iranian Seismological Centre (IRSC) quoting the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) report on Saturday.

    Of the injured people, 50 were from Khoy County and the rest were from Salmas County, Sadeq Mahmoudi, head of Iran’s Relief and Rescue Organisation, was quoted by ISNA as saying.

    He added that 219 people have been released from medical centres after receiving treatment, while 20 people, including seven from Khoy and 13 from Salmas, have been hospitalised.

    Mahmoudi added tents and blankets have been sent out to residents in the quake-affected areas, Xinhua news agency reported.

    On Friday, Director General of West Azarbaijan’s Housing Foundation Jafar Barzegar told Iran’s official news agency IRNA that 80 residential units in 10 villages in counties of Salmas and Khoy were damaged in the earthquake.

    In late January, a 5.9-magnitude earthquake in Khoy County killed three people and injured more than 800.

  • Israeli American wounded in West Bank shooting, gunman caught

    Israeli American wounded in West Bank shooting, gunman caught

    [ad_1]

    Tel Aviv: In yet another terror attack in the West Bank town of Huwara, an Israeli, former US Marine was shot and seriously wounded, Times of Israel reported.

    According to the Times of Israel, the gunman was detained after a brief chase.

    The victim, 40s, was named David Stern from the settlement of Itamar, a former US Marine who works as a weapons instructor. US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides confirmed that Stern is also an American citizen.

    As per the Times of Israel, the gunman was earlier shot by the victim as well as by the officers but he somehow fled away from the scene.

    The makeshift “Carlo” submachine gun used in the attack, which the terrorist apparently dropped while fleeing, was also seized.

    The gunman was taken by military medics for treatment at a hospital before he was to be handed over to the Shin Bet for questioning, reported Times of Israel.

    Palestinian media named him as Laith Nadim Nassar, from the nearby village of Madama, south of Nablus.

    The west bank is slowly and gradually becoming the hub of the terror attack. A similar incident took place on Thursday in West Bank where 4 Palestinians were killed and 23 others were wounded in Jenin, CNN reported.

    The Health Ministry stated that five of those injured are in critical condition.

    However, the Israeli security forces said that those neutralized were suspected of terrorist activity.

    In a statement, the Israeli security forces said they “neutralized two operatives of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization who are suspected of significant terrorist activity.” A third person “was neutralized after he tried to attack the fighters with an iron crowbar,” the statement added, CNN reported.

    During the operation, armed persons fired at the forces, and casualties were seen as a result.

    Hamas announced in a statement that two of the Palestinians killed in Jenin were its members, according to CNN.

    “The cowardly assassination of two leaders of the resistance will not go unpunished. The occupation has tried us before, knows for sure that our response is coming and that the march of the resistance continues until liberation,” the Hamas statement read.

    Hamas, a Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist, militant, and nationalist organization, which took control of the Gaza Strip by removing the Fattah officials. It resulted in the change in powers and the de facto division of the Palestinian territories into two entities, the West Bank governed by the Palestinian National Authority, and Gaza governed by Hamas.

  • 3 killed, 10 wounded as terrorists storm Karachi police headquarters

    3 killed, 10 wounded as terrorists storm Karachi police headquarters

    [ad_1]

    Karachi: At least three attackers were killed and 10 people wounded on Friday night when a group of terrorists opened fire at the headquarters of Karachi police in south Sindh province, officials said.

    The attack happened at around 7:10 p.m. local time when eight to 10 terrorists opened fire and hurled hand grenades at the Karachi police chief’s office near the Saddar area of Karachi, Deputy Inspector General of south zone Karachi Irfan Baloch told media.

    He said four floors of the building had been cleared in the operation jointly launched by the Pakistan Army, paramilitary rangers and police, adding that during the clearance operation, a suicide bomber blew himself up on the fourth floor, partially damaging the building, Xinhua news agency reported.

    The powerful explosion also shattered the window glasses of nearby buildings, said the police.

    A heavy contingent of police and rescue teams reached the scene and cordoned off the area. Police also sealed off traffic on the main artery Shahrah-e-Faisal, where the building is located.

    Eyewitnesses told the news agency that the lights of the building under attack had been turned off, while gunshots and multiple explosions could be heard.

    Several police personnel were inside the office when the attack took place, said the police, adding that the attackers equipped with heavy weapons managed to enter the third and fourth floor of the building.

    The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement issued Friday evening, it said the Karachi police office was the target of the attack.

    Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif strongly condemned the terrorist attack, appreciating the police and security forces for their effective action against the terrorists.

    “Terrorists once again targeted Karachi but this kind of cowardly act could not weaken the resolve of police and law enforcement agencies. The whole nation stood with police and security institutions … collective efforts needed to root out the menace of terrorism,” the Prime Minister said.

  • 10 people wounded in Florida mass shooting

    10 people wounded in Florida mass shooting

    [ad_1]

    Florida: A mass shooting in a Florida city has left 10 people wounded while two in critical condition, the Lakeland Police Department announced on Monday, according to CNN.

    According to the police, a dark-blue, four-door sedan pulled up at the scene of the shooting, Police Department Chief Sam Taylor said.

    “The vehicle slowed, did not stop, and the four windows went down. It appeared to be occupied by four shooters in the vehicle,” Taylor said, adding, “They started firing from all four windows of the vehicle and shooting males on both sides.”

    The car took off at a high speed, and police are “actively looking for that vehicle now,” CNN quoted Taylor saying.

    According to ABC, the police responded to calls of a shooting at a location near Iowa Avenue North and Plum Street at 3.43 pm.

    All the victims were adult men between 20 and 35 years old, according to Taylor.

    “We will be out most of the night trying to figure out who these individuals are in the vehicle,” Taylor said.

    Police found certain ‘quantity’ of marijuana at the scene, which indicates to police that “there was a narcotic sales or sales of marijuana going on at the time,” Taylor said, adding, “Whether that is significant or related to this is unknown,” according to CNN.

    The chief said in his 34 years career in this department, he had never worked on a case where so many people had been shot at one time.

    “This is something that doesn’t happen to Lakeland,” he said.
