Gunfight in the Adora Settlement in Hebron
According to Hebrew press reports, three Palestinians were observed sneaking into the Adora settlement near Hebron on Friday evening, January 11. They opened fire on Israeli army troops, resulting in the death of the Palestinians and an injury to an Israeli described by the Israeli army as a reservist soldier.
According to Palestinian sources, the three young men are from the town of Idna, west of Hebron. They are identified as Ismail Ahmed Abu Jahisha, Mahmoud Arafat Abu Jahisha, and Uday Ismail Abu Jahisha.
