From the Jerusalem Post:
Two Palestinians, including a policeman, were killed in riots which broke out in the West Bank city of Jenin after IDF troops demolished the home of a Palestinian terrorist responsible for the death of Rabbi Raziel Shevach in September 2018.
According to Palestinian news agency WAFA, 19 year-old Yazan Abu Tabikh was killed after IDF troops opened fire at rioters who had been clashing with troops. The policeman was identified as Sergeant Tarek Badwan.
The first question is – was the policeman attacking the IDF?
But there is more. Yazan Abu Tabikh was identified in Palestinian media as also a paid member of the PA’s National Security Service in Jenin.
This means that two PA police were killed and they were the only ones.
This sure makes it sound like the PA is now actively attacking Israeli forces.
This gets even more interesting because Islamic Jihad issued a statement that strongly suggested that Abu Tabikh was also one of its members as well, but that is not certain.
Either way, if the PA is now encouraging its police to attack Israeli security, things could escalate quickly.
Mahmoud Abbas said last Saturday that “we still believe in peace and a culture of peace.”
