Two Palestinians arrested in Christmas tree arson in West Bank
But Christmas has been overshadowed by three months of Israeli-Palestinian violence, so it was a poor turnout this year. Palestinians view the structure as a land grab that has stifled Bethlehem’s economy.
Israeli troops shot and killed two Palestinians after they stabbed a soldier on Sunday near at a West Bank checkpoint, the military said.
Heavy rain and gales as Storm Frank sweeps in
An amber “be prepared” warning for rain has been put into force by the Met Office, and will remain valid until 3pm today. Flood warnings have been issued around Britain, just days after severe flooding hit northern regions over Christmas.
According to the police, after spotting the Palestinian acting in what they described as a “suspicious” manner near the Old City’s Jaffa Gate, he was questioned by the police, at which stage he tried to pull out a knife. A Palestinian youth was also shot dead earlier for allegedly attempting to stab an Israeli police officer in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Lurie: Kelly didn’t push to stay as Eagles coach
But the Titans aren’t the only team with a possible coaching vacancy and a quarterback once adored by Kelly when he was at Oregon. The release stated that Lurie “released” Kelly, 26-21 (.553) in three seasons with the team, including 0-1 in the playoffs.
After his death, undercover soldiers of the Israeli military stormed his family’s home, violently searched it and interrogated several members of his family.
Many of the Palestinians killed have been attackers while others have been shot dead by Israeli security forces during clashes.
One Palestinian witness, Suhail Hamed, 39, said the police opened fire when the auto was 150 metres (yards) away from them.
The attack was the second of the day, following the stabbing of a soldier in Jerusalem. The surge in violence since October has-been fueled by Palestinians’ frustration over Israel’s 48-year occupation of land they search for an independent state & the enlargement of settlements in these territories which have been captured by Israel within the 1967 Middle East war. “The terrorist is under arrest”, a police statement said.
According to police spokeswoman Luba Samri, officers approached a man who was said to had drawn their suspicions just outside the Old City for following a pair of Jewish worshippers. “He was swiftly shot and neutralized”, Samri said.
Palestinian leaders say a younger generation sees no hope for the future living under Israeli security restrictions and with a stifled economy.
