Jerusalem,
Conflict between Israel and Palestine has been going on for years. Hamas governs the Gaza Strip in Palestine. Israel considers the organization a terrorist movement. Some other armed groups, such as Hamas, operate in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Meanwhile, in the West Bank, Palestine is under the leadership of Mohammed Abbas.
Parts of the West Bank are under Israeli control. These areas have been the scene of occasional clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinian armed groups.
In this case, the Israeli security forces were engaged in routine security work in the Hawrah area of the West Bank today. At that time, some members of the Palestinian Armed Forces who came there in a car opened fire on the Israeli security forces.
2 Israeli security forces were seriously injured in the firing. Israeli security forces have been deployed in the area following the incident. Also, Israeli security forces are actively searching for Palestinian armed groups who fled after firing.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, one of the Palestinian armed groups, has claimed responsibility for the shooting attack on Israeli security forces.
As the Islamic religious festival of Ramadan is approaching, it is feared that the incident of the Palestinian armed group’s attack on the Israeli security forces may cause renewed tension between Israel and Palestine.
