One Palestinian civilian and one fighter were shot and killed before dawn on Tuesday during an Israeli raid on the West Bank city of Nablus, Palestinian witnesses and doctors said, according to the AP.
Occupation soldiers patrolled the Old City, taking up points on roofs and detaining at least five men, locals said. At least two exchanges of fire broke out, and three members of Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades were wounded, two seriously, the group said. One, a local leader of the group, later died of his wounds, doctors said. He was named as Bassem Abu Saria.
The civilian, 72-year-old Abd al-Wazir, was shot just as he left his house in the area and later died of his injuries, his family and doctors said.
A total of 10 Palestinians were nabbed by Israeli forces overnight Monday throughout the West Bank.
