Death of Israeli soldiers a growing ‘political problem’ for Netanyahu
Al Jazeera is reporting from outside Israel because it has been banned by the Israeli government.
According to an initial Israeli army investigation, the two Israeli soldiers [who were killed earlier in a car ramming near Nablus] were examining another car when the perpetrator rammed his car into them. Soldiers nearby did not open fire, which is standard practice for Israeli soldiers in that situation because they simply didn’t know what was happening, according to the Israeli army. That allowed the attacker to get away.
According to security sources speaking to Israeli media, the man handed himself into Palestinian authorities Wednesday night, but the Palestinian Authority (PA) haven’t handed him over to the Israelis.
In the northern Gaza Strip, another soldier was killed. That brings the total number of Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza since October 7 to about 640. Just over 3,300 have been injured. Each one of those represents a very big political problem for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that political problem is getting bigger
