Israel arrests Palestinian attackers who killed guard
The Associated Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Saturday it has arrested a pair of Palestinian assailants who allegedly shot and killed a security guard at the entrance of a Jewish settlement in the West Bank… A string of Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have left 15 Israelis dead, while at least 27 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli security forces in recent weeks… In Gaza, the leader of the territory’s Hamas rulers Yehiyeh Sinwar called for stepping up attacks against Israeli targets in the West Bank, saying the ‘real battle arena is there.’
In a speech, he saluted the attackers who killed the guard… ‘All the factions of resistance in the Gaza Strip must be prepared and be on alert,’ Sinwar said…”
Context added by this archive
The running count in the fifth paragraph is two-sided and unequal: 15 Israelis, at least 27 Palestinians. Yahia Edwan, 27, is named only in the caption. The page runs beside an invitation to submit Mother’s Day photographs for publication on 8 May.
