An Israeli Sergeant Is Shot Dead in the West Bank as a Second Is Remembered -- New York Times
BAT YAM, Israel — An Israeli soldier was fatally shot in the West Bank city of Hebron on Sunday, apparently by a Palestinian sniper, in the second deadly attack on the Israeli military this weekend. Killings of Israelis have become relatively rare in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. While there appeared to be no direct link between the two latest episodes, they jolted Israeli complacency, fed popular distrust of Palestinians and deepened skepticism about the recently resumed Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.
Naftali Bennett, a right-wing minister in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition, called for a re-examination of the government’s decision to release batches of long-serving Palestinian security prisoners from Israeli jails in the coming months as part of the American-brokered peace effort.
The Israeli military identified the latest victim as Sgt. Gabriel Koby, 20, from the city of Tirat Hacarmel and said in a statement that he was hit by direct gunfire aimed at a group of soldiers who were guarding the Jewish settlement in Hebron and the thousands of civilians visiting the city for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
