Israeli police reported Wednesday that during a search in the occupied West Bank the previous day, security personnel had confiscated around 1.5 million shekels ($447,000) worth of "terror funds." The Red Crescent reports that scores of Palestinians were injured Tuesday as Israeli troops attacked a currency shop in Ramallah. While Israel frequently conducts raids throughout the West Bank, where hostilities have persisted throughout the Gaza conflict, it seldom enters downtown Ramallah, the location of the Palestinian Authority.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the surge in killings of unsuspecting armless Nigerians while in prayers, stressing that the siege has reached an epidemic level that threatens our collective humanity as people. Recall, that gunmen had two days ago attacked a mosque while worshippers were observing morning prayers at Unguwan Mantau community, Malumfashi LGA, of Katsina state, killing at least 32 worshippers in a cold blood.
