In the center of the West Bank's second-largest city, angry residents threw objects at an armored jeep that was chasing them. A man died.
Israeli police said late Tuesday that an 84-year-old woman was killed in central Israel and that they were looking for a Palestinian suspect. The prime minister called the killing evil.
There was a rare case of deadly internal Palestinian fighting in the occupied West Bank. The unpopular Palestinian Authority is seen as collaborating with an entrenched and unbearable system of Israeli military domination.
Local youths threw bricks, stones and metal bars at a Palestinian military-style jeep and then chased it from the central Martyrs Square. For several hours, the sound of gunfire echoed through the city. Palestinians protest against Israeli troops in similar fashion.
The city remained quiet after the Palestinians withdrew.
The northern West Bank is home to a number of Palestinian militant groups, and the Palestinian Authority has had difficulty in maintaining control over the area over the years.
The authority and Israel share a common fight against Islamic militancy. This has made people think that the PA is more interested in its own survival than improving the lives of its people.
Israel has occupied the West Bank for 55 years and there is no sign of an end. Peace talks ended in 2009. The heartland of a future independent state would be the West Bank.
The PA's standing has been weakened due to Israel's nightly arrest raids.
26% of Palestinians are satisfied with the performance of the president, while 74% are hoping for his resignation, according to a survey published Tuesday. It predicted that Abbas would be defeated in an election in the West Bank. The survey questioned 1,270 people and had a margin of error of three percentage points.
Some of the attacks that took place inside Israel were launched from the West Bank. Many of the 90 Palestinians who died in the arrest raids were said by Israel to be militant or local youths who protested the raids.
The Tel Aviv suburb of Holon was the site of an attack that left at least one person dead. The public was asked to help find the young Palestinian man, who was wanted in the beating. He was at the UN General Assembly in New York.
The Palestinian security forces have failed to do so, according to Israel. At a time when there is no political horizon, it is difficult for the Palestinians to work with the Israelis.
He met with the King of Jordan. The need for calming the situation on the ground and stopping terrorism ahead of the upcoming Jewish holidays was the topic of a brief conversation between him and his office.
The leader of a country that borders the West Bank called for calm during the upcoming period. He called for a political horizon to achieve a just and comprehensive peace that would establish an independent Palestinian state with Israel. The Palestinians should be granted their just and legitimate rights, he said.
Both Israel and the Palestinians have been pushed to restore quiet by the US. Small measures to improve the Palestinian economy were the focus of the Biden administration's plan.
The Palestinians refused to comment on the operation. Two Hamas men were arrested in the raid. The militant who was killed in the raid was close to one of them.
The residents started shooting into the air and burning tires after they accused the Palestinian security forces of making the arrests. The Palestinians responded with tear gas and fire.
Firas was killed in a gunfight according to Hisham Yaish. He said only his brother was killed in the tragic incidents.
Hamas claimed that the Palestinian security forces had killed him.
Hamas accused the Palestinians of collaborating with Israel.
Hamas said in a statement that the authority identifies with the enemy by continuing security coordination, suppressing our people, and pursuing and arresting resistance fighters.
The Palestinian security spokesman confirmed the death of Yaish.
He claimed that security forces were not in the area where he died.
The authenticity of the account is confirmed by the testimony of witnesses who were present at the accident site.
