Three soldiers wounded in shooting attack in W. Bank
By ARIEH O'SULLIVAN
Gunmen opened fire on an IDF ambulance Wednesday night near Nablus wounding three soldiers, two moderately and one lightly, the army said.
The attack took place near the village of Huwarwa in the West Bank and came as the IDF was heavily beefing up its forces in the territories and tightening the closure on the Palestinians in light of increasing threats of pending terrorist attacks.
The army has already thrown in almost all of its standing combat forces into the territories, canceling courses and leaves. The army also won approval from he the defense ministry to call up reserves to supplement the heavy crackdown on terrorists.
Military sources confirmed that the IDF planned to draft "a number" of reserve battalions after the Sukkot holidays. Reports said that four battalions would be called up. These would be deployed along the seam line to prevent terrorist infiltrations. The army has refrained from calling up reservists due to the high cost burden to the defense budget.
With the territories already under an open-ended blockade, OC Central Command Maj.-Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky issued orders Wednesday night to bar all Palestinian vehicles from traveling along roads in the Israeli-controlled parts of the West Bank. The ban is to be in effect for four days in area C, the army said.
Humanitarian cases would be allowed to pass provided they received permission from liaison officers, the army said.
Checkpoints are particularly strict and soldiers have been stationed at the entrances to many villages to check those coming out. Roadblocks were the sites Wednesday of delays as troops examined nearly every car for bombs and fugitives.
Troops in a sweep in Jenin, meanwhile, rounded up 34 fugitives. Security sources said that two of the fugitives confessed to interrogators that they had been recruited as suicide bomber.
In the Gaza Strip, a couple of mortar rounds hit near the settlement of Netzer Hazani and shots were fired at IDF outposts near Naveh Dekalim and Rafah Yam. There were no reported injuries in any of the incidents.
It was an IDF ambulance......

Well, if it was a Pali ambulance bearing a Red Crescent it might be a legitimate military target, because, as has been amply documented, the Palis use them to smuggle weapons. But, this was an IDF ambulance, demonstrating yet again that the Pali terrorists are savages without honor.
