Report: IDF troops in West Bank kill Palestinian mother and son

By Reuters

JERUSALEM - Israel Defense Forces troops in the West Bank village of Rajoub shot dead a Palestinian mother and her armed son overnight in what appeared to be a mixup sparked by a feud between villagers, residents said.

They said that in the small hours of Sunday morning soldiers fired at a house on the outskirts of the village, where 20-year-old Fawzi Dwekat was standing guard with a rifle in the wake of arson attacks on the family's cars.

The youth and his 50-year-old mother Nawal were killed by shots from soldiers who apparently believed they had come across a militant hideout, neighbors said.

The army had no immediate information on any incident in Rajoub.

The military source said troops returned fire after being shot at from a building during a pre-dawn raid in Roujib, near the city of Nablus.

Palestinian witnesses said those killed were a 48-year-old woman and her 20-year-old son. Medics said four other family members were wounded.

The witnesses said the family had opened fire at people whom they thought were trying to steal their car.
