Ramallah has been sealed by the Israeli military forces and makeshift checkpoints have been placed around the city closing it to all traffic. The Palestinian National Authority has declared a state of emergency and high military alert, as the risk of Israeli retaliation appears to be high. The Palestinian security services have evacuated Palestinian families living near Israeli military installation for their safety. Eyewitnesses have reported tanks and missiles have been placed on alert and are now being directed towards Ramallah from the high ground near the Beit El Settlement. The Beit El military compound and settlement seems to have prepared for conflict.
Law is regrets the loss of life.
It is concerned that Israel instructed the operatives to go into Ramallah at this time of significant tension. It is also concerned that Israel may have re-launched a campaign of undercover executions, a military practice that was consistently employed throughout the Intifada. Reports are coming in that another Palestinian has been killed. Further details will be reported when these become available. There is a grave and imminent danger that Israel will retaliate using heavy military force to the killing.
