Report: Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claim responsibility for West Bank shooting attack

[azurnoir]

The Imad Mughniyeh Group of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades on Saturday claimed responsibility for a shooting attack one day earlier in the West Bank, in which two Israelis were lightly wounded, Palestinian news agency Maan reported.

Two Israelis were lightly hurt on Friday in a shooting attack at the Halamish Junction in the West Bank, near the settlement of Ofra. Police said gunmen opened fire at their car, which was traveling on Road 60.

Meanwhile, not far from the site of the shooting, Palestinian sources said settlers opened fire and killed a Palestinian teenager who was throwing rocks at Israeli cars near the West Bank city of Ramallah late Thursday.

The body of 16-year-old Aysar Zaben was found after midnight with gunshot wounds to the back outside the village of Mazra'a al Sharqiya, located northwest of Ramallah and between the settlements of Shiloh and Ofra.

An Israel Police spokesman said an investigation into the incident had been opened and it was not clear exactly what took place or who was responsible.

Two Israeli citizens had earlier alerted police after seeing three men, one armed with a rifle, get out of a car in the area where the shooting then took place. Police who came to the scene found rocks littering the side of the road, but no trace of the three men.

the members of the al-asqa brigades, and the settlers responsible for the shootings are found and arrested and put on trial.
