Since the end of the Second Intifada, around 2005, Israelis have grown to expect a success rate of almost 95 percent in stopping terrorist attacks before they occur. Most terror suspects in the West Bank are either arrested before they manage to do anything, or immediately thereafter. A major reason for this success has been the very close cooperation between Israel and Palestinian security officials – a relationship both sides prefer to keep as low-profile as possible.

The first group of soldiers made do with firing tear-gas and stun grenades at the large numbers of young people on the streets. A little after 5 A.M., the last group of soldiers started to leave the town. Suddenly, one of the soldiers in the rear of the column aimed his rifle and fired live ammunition at the youngsters, at a range of about 80 meters.
Medical sources said that Malek Mustafa al-Sharif, 22, was wounded by rubber-coated steel bullets during the clashes. In addition, an Israeli military patrol vehicle ran over four youths from the camp, including Musa al-Khamour, 22, Hassan Mujahid Abu Joudah, and Marcel Mahmoud Zaghout, 19, who was arrested after he was struck in the head by the vehicle. The fourth injured individual was not immediately identified.
Two residents of the village also accused Israeli troops of stealing money from their homes during predawn raids Saturday. Samir Haymouni told Ma'an that Israeli troops stole 15,000 shekels ($4,300) in addition to damaging all of his furniture. Similarly, Hatim Asafra said that Israeli soldiers stole 2,500 shekels ($725) from his apartment.
Over the past decade, Israeli forces have arrested, interrogated, and prosecuted around 7,000 children between 12 and 17, mostly boys, at a rate of "an average of two children each day", UNICEF said.
Few of these campaigners knew that the Israeli authorities had, in fact, established from the start that the boys were dead and apparently withheld that information from the public.
'One of them crouched and opened fire on the boy,' said Bassam al-Awadeh, 42, who said he watched from about 150 yards (140 m) away. 'The boy was hit in his heart and his abdomen.'
if Hamas is behind it, and nobody knows up until now, then it will be a blow to the reconciliation process. If we reach that conclusion, then the president will take drastic decisions.
Ya'alon added that in 2013, more than 30 kidnapping attempts were foiled, and another 14 attempts since the beginning of this year.
