Israeli killed in stabbing, shooting attacks in West Bank

Ramallah, Mar 17: The attacks occurred near the Ariel junction southwest of Nablus, and the Israeli regime said they were believed to have been carried out by a Palestinian.

“One Israeli is dead,” Israeli army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus said, adding that the assailant “appears to be Palestinian.”

Israeli media earlier reported that an assailant stabbed a regime soldier and managed to take his gun and drive to the Gitai Avishar junction, where he allegedly shot other people.

The alleged attacker fled the scene.

Palestinian media reported that the Israeli military raided an area near the Palestinian village of Burqin in their search for the assailant. Residents said the situation was very tense there.

Tensions have been running high in the West Bank and the blockaded Gaza Strip since December 2017, when US President Donald Trump decided to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s “capital” and moved Washington’s embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied Palestinian city.

While the Israeli regime had already been taking increasingly harsh measures against Palestinians, it has been emboldened by the Trump administration’s move.

The Israeli military regularly opens fatal fire on Palestinians, accusing them of seeking to stab its personnel.

Human rights groups have repeatedly slammed the Tel Aviv regime for its shoot-to-kill policy as a large number of the Palestinians killed at the scene of attacks did not pose any serious threat to Israelis.

Israel is number one terrorist state in the world. They have illegally dragged away hundreds of thusands of palestinians and occupied their land and established a state which is being supported by USA and other western countries sidelining miserable state of palestinians. Its unfortunate that non country is supporting palestinians. Terrorist jews are killing unarmed palestinians for no reason and world media has closed its eyes. However, if any palestinian attacks Jewish terrorist in self defence, whole world media pays its attention and broadcasts is as terrorist attack. Its also unfortunate that muslim countries are silent spectator to these attrocities. These countries are as if puppet of US and western countries. Its shame to them for not being in a position to say anything.

Riyadh, Apr 22: In an extraordinary initiative, the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has decided to facilitate the travel of expatriates who have an exit and reentry visa or final exit visa to return to their countries.

This is in line with the order of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

According to the initiative, called “Auda” (return), expatriates can apply seeking permission for travel to their countries through the Absher portal of the ministry.

Announcing this, Saudi's Ministry of Interior said that the initiative will be implemented in cooperation with a number of relevant government agencies.

Requests for travel from expatriates will be received and approved in coordination with the relevant authorities to complete their travel procedures on board international flights.

As per the initiative, a text message will be sent to the beneficiary stating the travel date, ticket number and reservation details, and by which the beneficiary can obtain his travel ticket and complete the travel procedures.
