Israeli occupation troops killed a member of the Palestinian security forces in an exchange of fire in the northern West Bank overnight, sources told AFP on Thursday.
“During an ambush organized to arrest an armed man... who had fired on Israeli soldiers several times in recent weeks, the man opened fire on soldiers, who fired back,” the Zionist army claimed. "We later learnt that he had been killed."
Palestinian security sources identified the dead man as intelligence officer Saleh Yasin, 29. He was on his way home when he was ambushed by the Zionist soldiers, the sources said.
Another Palestinian was shot dead by the Israeli army, and several others wounded, in clashes that erupted following a similar arrest operation in Jenin, also in the northern West Bank, on Wednesday evening, sources on both sides said.
Palestinian security sources named the man killed in that exchange as Nafaa al-Saedi, 23, of the resistance Jihad movement.
