Zionist forces kill Hamas man coming out of mosque
(MENAFN- Arab News) JENIN West Bank: Israeli forces killed a member of the Palestinian group Hamas during a raid in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday witnesses and medics said.
A spokesman for Israel's paramilitary border police said its troops were in Jenin as part of a predawn operation against suspected militants when they saw a Palestinian preparing to throw a pipe bomb at them and shot him.
'He was shot by a unit providing covering fire for the unit that he was about to attack' the spokesman said.
Jenin residents and hospital officials said the 23-year-old Palestinian was shot in the back. They said there were no wider confrontations at the time with the Israeli troops.
Hamas which has a limited presence in the West Bank claimed the dead Palestinian as a member.
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 US-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas which operate in parallel in West Bank cities.
