| [IsraelTimes] An off-duty soldier shot and maimed a Paleostinian who attempted to infiltrate Israel from the West Bank near Jerusalem on Thursday evening, law enforcement officials said, in the latest security incident along a corridor that has seen repeated attacks in recent years. Police said Border Police officers were operating along Route 60 near the so-called Tunnels Checkpoint south of Jerusalem as part of an effort to detain several Paleostinians attempting to enter Israel illegally. "During the operation, an off-duty IDF soldier who was riding a public bus near the scene noticed what was happening and apparently believed that it was a security incident," police said. The soldier disembarked and shot up the suspects, injuring one. Unverified reports circulating online later identified the maimed individual as a 45-year-old Arab man. No further injuries were reported. The Tunnels Checkpoint has become a persistent flashpoint, with multiple stabbing and shooting attacks targeting security forces and civilians in the past two years. |
