Israeli forces raid PA premises in Ramallah for second day in a row

For a second day in a row, Israeli security forces raid Palestinian Authority premises in northern Ramallah.

The raids come after a terrorist attack outside the Ofra settlement in the central West Bank on Sunday that left seven wounded, including a pregnant woman whose child was delivered by doctors and is fighting for his life.

The car fled immediately after the bullets were fired. For the past 48 hours or so, security forces have been searching for the gunman and for possible accomplices.

The security forces were seen near the headquarters of the official Palestinian Authority news site Wafa and the PA Finance Ministry, Wafa reports.

They also entered shops in the area and seized footage from their security cameras, the PA news site’s report says.

An IDF spokeswoman declines to comment on the raid, including whether it is connected to Sunday’s terror attack.

When the security forces raided northern Ramallah yesterday, they also seized security footage from buildings.

During today’s raid, clashes broke out between the security forces and Palestinian youth, the Wafa report also says.
