An Israeli army spokesman says two Palestinians suspected in the fatal abduction of three Israeli teenagers in June have been killed in a shootout with Israeli forces.

Hebron residents said troops had surrounded a house in the city before dawn on Tuesday and reported sounds of gunfire.

The forces were seeking to arrest Kawasme and Abu Aysha when a firefight erupted, in which the two wanted men were killed, Lt Col Peter Lerner said.

“We opened fire, they returned fire and they were killed in the exchange,” Lerner said. “We have visual confirmation for one. The second one, we have no visual confirmation, but the assumption is he was killed.”

Israeili forces tried to arrest them
They started shooting

The outcome was a little predictable. Don't believe me? Try shooting at the police in your state.

Key word suspected. Key words in previous post, "We opened fire".

They got the outcome they wanted. No trial, no jury, no judge. Oh, and another couple years of war. I know their leaders are happy. I just wonder about the rest of their citizens?

Just like they use the word "alleged" even if a person is on video shooting someone. Police open fire on killers all the time. You don't let them have a chance to kill again.

In the order words are put makes all the difference in the meaning, huh

between you me and the gate post Israel needs to be reined in. As long as they have the present attitude there will be no peace. No one can expect anyone to take ones land and not expect some shit in return. I know if one of my neighbors tried to take some of mine it would be hell to pay.
I have no dog in this fight, I'm a non believer in the god thing so Israels claim that its gods will means nothing to me. I see is for what it is, thievery and terrorism

I just can't get behind Israel when the whole fight seems to be something out of Medieval Europe. Their has to be another way to preserve a cultural archeological piece of land without actually owning it and killing for it. They have education, knowledge and money--there is another way to fix this other than barbaric violence perpetuated for decades.

It's about the resources on those lands.
