Two Israelis were killed in a suspected Palestinian shooting attack on a car wash in a volatile stretch of the occupied West Bank on Saturday, the latest outburst of violence to rock the region.
An Associated Press reporter saw Israeli military checkpoints set up on the roads leading into Hawara, with soldiers checking car trunks and passengers.
The violence in the area has prompted promises of a harsh response from members of Israel’s far-right government and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a firebrand settler supporter, called for Israel to “erase” Hawara, a remark he later walked back, saying he meant that Israel should operate surgically within it against Palestinian militants.
The Israeli military said in its statement Wednesday that a commando unit raided Balata seeking to destroy an underground weapons factory when a gunfight erupted. Israel has been staging near-nightly raids since last spring in response to a spate of deadly Palestinian attacks.
