Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has vowed to wrest control of the ancient Solomon’s Pools site from the Palestinian Authority. Palestinians are responding by reclaiming the site and resisting Israeli efforts to seize more of the West Bank.
Ala Khader al-Hreimi, 26. a former Palestinian political prisoner who was previously shot by Israeli soldiers, was killed Friday after he reportedly deliberately rammed two Israeli colonists with his car near Etzion, an illegal settlement.
