2 settlers fire at Israeli paraglider, Palestinian homes, in separate incidents

Two Israeli settlers opened fire using army-issued weapons in separate incidents in the West Bank over the weekend — one at an Israeli paraglider mistakenly believed to be a terrorist, and another at Palestinian homes in a refugee camp, the military said Saturday.

Additionally, a group of settlers attacked the West Bank village of Jalud Saturday morning, setting fire to electricity cables and putting down road spikes to delay the arrival of security forces, Army Radio reported.

Both settlers in the shooting incidents were part of “area defense force” units — known by its Hebrew acronym Hagmar — which are made up of local settlers in reserve duty.
