Israeli Army Shell Palestinian West Bank Security Chief's Home
Two Israeli tanks shelled the home of Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestinian Preventive Security Service in the West Bank, early Sunday evening, Palestinian security sources said.
Rajoub's five bodyguards were wounded when his home in the West Bank city of Ramallah was under tank fire. The security chief himself was transferred to other places during the attack, said the sources.
There are no comments from either the Israeli or Palestinian side thus far.
Earlier on Sunday, Rajoub slammed the Israeli leadership, saying that Israel was led by bloodthirsty gangsters responsible for the murder of innocent Palestinian civilians.
Israel Radio reported that according to Rajoub, the Palestinians have lost all hopes for peace after eight months of bloody conflicts, and would respond with violence to any Israeli escalation.
