Monday 3-April-2017

Gunmen believed to be from the Palestinian resistance opened fire on Sunday night at the Israeli Salem military base west of Jenin city in the occupied West Bank and withdrew from the area.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the armed men were aboard a vehicle during their gunfire attack on the base and managed to escape the scene adding that the Israeli army combed nearby areas in search for the shooters.

They added that it was the third time such attack on the base happened within one month.

They also said dozens of Israeli troops stormed amid intensive gunfire the nearby towns of Silat al-Harithiya Yamun Zabbuba and Rummanah to look for the attackers.

Soldiers also raided a kerosene store on the Jenin-Haifa road in Yamun town and reviewed its security camera recordings.
