5 Indian army troopers killed on Kashmir::Jammu & Kashmir::

SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, (Xinhua): Five Indian army troopers were killed early Tuesday by Pakistani troops during an ambush on line-of-control (LoC), which divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan controlled parts, officials said.
Reports said Pakistani troopers have entered Indian-controlled part near Sarla in frontier Poonch District, around 185 km south of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir, to carry out the deadly attack.
The region’s Chief Minister Omar Abdullah wrote on his Twitter account that he was briefed about the killings in morning.
“Was briefed early this morning about news that five of our soldiers had been killed on the LoC. My heartfelt condolences to their next of kin,” Abdullah tweeted.
Kashmir, the region divided between India and Pakistan, is claimed by both in full. Since their Independence from the British, the two countries have fought three wars, two exclusively over Kashmir.

Five injured in Ramallah by Israeli army ::Palestine::

IMEMC & Agencies: Palestinian medical sources have reported that five Palestinians were shot and wounded, on Sunday evening, during clashes with Israeli soldiers near the Al-Jalazoun refugee camp, north of the central West Bank city of Ramallah.
The clashes took place after a number of extremist Israeli settlers from Bet El settlement, hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles driving on the Ramallah-Nablus road.
Local residents clashed with the settlers, and when the soldiers arrived at the scene, they opened fire at the residents.
The camp witnessed repeated clashes over the past three days due to escalating violations carried out by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the area.
The clashes are concentrated in an area that is nearly 100 meters away from the Israeli “Civil Administration Office DCO” run by the military in the occupied territories.
