Last update - 18:57 06/01/2008 PA detains, hands over two Israelis who entered Bethlehem to fix car By Yuval Azoulay Tags: West Bank, Bethlehem, Israel  Palestinian Authority police detained Sunday an Israel Defense Forces soldier who had entered the West Bank city of Bethlehem armed with his army-issue rifle and accompanied by a 17-year-old Israeli youth. They were later handed over to Israel. When questioned by Military Police, the soldier said he had entered the Palestinian-controlled city in order to get his car fixed. The incident comes roughly a week and a half after PA police detained three Israeli tourists near the Church of the Nativity. One of them, also an IDF soldier, was armed with his army-issued rifle. He was sentenced to 28 days in prison by a military court, while his two friends were released on bail. Advertisement The three, all residents of Palmachim, told police they had wanted to see the large Christmas tree near the church. The IDF view such incidents with severity, both of which come on the heals of a West Bank shooting attack that killed two IDF soldiers on leave, who had gone hiking with their weapons in territory that is under Palestinian civilian control.
