AL-QUDS — Five Palestinians and an Israeli border policeman were wounded in a raid in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli army and local medical officials said on Tuesday. The army said soldiers demolished a house in the city of Jenin where it said a suspect was hiding. In a statement, the army said hundreds of Palestinians had gathered at the scene during the operation late on Monday. Palestinian medical officials said five Palestinians were wounded by rubber bullets. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, in speech on security issues in Tel Aviv, said a member of an Israeli special forces unit was shot and wounded, apparently by friendly fire. Israeli troops frequently enter Palestinian-controlled territory to detain people. Palestinian officials condemn this practice as an encroachment on the limited self-rule they hold in parts of the West Bank. — Reuters
