- Story Text: Dozens of Palestinians on Monday (August 11) attended a funeral procession for a man who according to medical officials, was killed in an Israeli raid on his house.
An Israeli military spokeswoman had said she was aware of troop activity in the area but initially had no further details.
Local witnesses said Zakaria al-Aqra, 23, was wanted by Israel and had been shot dead. Six other people were wounded. Part of Aqra's house was destroyed by an army bulldozer, they said.
Aqra is the third Palestinian to be killed in Israeli-Palestinian clashes in the West Bank in four days. Tensions in the territory have run high during Israel's more than month-old war with Islamist militants in the Gaza Strip. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
