Breaking News:
At dawn: Border Police shot dead a young Palestinian in a car and critically wounded his friend
Hebrew press gave conflicting reports about a killing at dawn. Most of the papers claimed that the three young Palestinians driving at dawn in their E. Jerusalem village intended or allegedly intended to make a ramming attack on a Border Police force, which was in Al-Ram village raiding a blacksmith workshop that was allegedly used to make Karl Gustav makeshift guns. The forces killed Anwar Asalayma, 24, critically wounded his friend Fares Khader al-Rishq, 20, and arrested a third friend. Locals told Ma’an that Israeli forces opened fire at three Palestinians youths around dawn, as the three were seemingly unaware that Israeli forces were deployed in the town and conducting raids and had closed the main street.
