Israeli troops kill Palestinian in W.Bank raid

Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian during an operation early Tuesday to arrest a Palestinian militant in the West Bank city of Jenin, the army said. “During the activity, shots were fired at the forces and improvised explosive devices and rocks were hurled at the security personnel, injuring two soldiers,” a military spokeswoman told AFP. Troops responded to the live fire, and “initial reports indicate that one Palestinian was killed and two injured,” she added. Both the wanted man, believed to be an Islamic Jihad activist, Bassam Saadi, and those involved in the violence that erupted at the scene were taken into custody.
