IDF arrests 3 PA policemen for throwing stones

The IDF has identified an increase in the participation of members of the Palestinian Authority security forces in anti-Israel demonstrations throughout the West Bank, senior military sources said this week.

According to one officer, the army recently arrested three Palestinian policemen at demonstrations against Israel after they threw rocks at Israeli security forces.

One of the policemen, an officer with the rank of captain, was arrested recently at a regular Friday demonstration near the Palestinian village of Nabi Salih. All three policemen were in civilian dress when they were arrested.

While the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) have said that the PA is financing the weekly demonstrations held near Bil’in, Ni’lin and Nabi Salih, this is the first time that the IDF has identified the active participation of security officers.

It is no surprise that the PA helps fund these little insurrections. However, it is shocking that the PA would be so blase and have high ranking officers partake in the festivities.
