A Palstinian fighter, likely a member of Hamas, was killed Monday in the West Bank city of Hebron after the Israeli army, backed by tanks and jeeps, demolished the building in which he was hiding.
His body was discovered and then extracted from the ruins and troops were trying to determine his identity.
The fighter, who was armed with a macine gun, exchanged fire with the Israeli forces before he was killed.
The occupation forces arrived at the house before dawn during a routine search for Palestinian activists in the area. The residents of the house came out and told the forces that a masked, armed man had entered the house, threatening them at gunpoint, shortly before the occupation troops arrived. (Albawaba.com)
