- Story Text: Israeli paramilitary policemen killed a member of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas during a raid in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday (June 10), witnesses and medics said.
A spokesman for Israel's paramilitary border police said the force's uniformed troops were in Jenin as part of an operation against suspected militants, when they saw a Palestinian preparing to throw a pipe bomb at them and shot him.
Jenin residents and hospital officials said the 23-year-old Palestinian was killed early morning. They said there had been no wider confrontations with the Israeli troops, who left the city.
On a Hamas website, the group said he was killed after coming out of a mosque after prayers there.
The Israeli border police spokesman said the Jenin raid was not coordinated in advance with the security forces of U.S.-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, which operate in parallel in West Bank cities. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
