Israeli forces kill Palestinian in West Bank raid
[An Nahar] Israeli forces killed a Paleostinian man Monday in the occupied West Bank, the Paleostinian health ministry announced, as the Israeli military said forces were in a firefight during a raid.

Ashraf Mohammed Ibrahim, 37, was "shot by the Israeli occupation" in the northern city of Jenin, the ministry said.

Ibrahim was an officer in the Paleostinian intelligence service, according to the official Paleostinian news agency Wafa.

The Israeli military said "suspects fired heavily at the forces, who responded with fire toward the gunnies" during a raid in Jenin.

"In addition, suspects hurled bombs at the forces," added the army statement.

Six people were arrested in Jenin, according to Paleostinian prisoners' advocacy groups.

The Times of Israel reports the Israel perspective at 7:35 p.m. ET
Army says troops came under ‘massive gunfire’ in overnight op, vehicles damaged by bombs; fatality was member of Al-Aqsa brigade terror group; 6 detained elsewhere in West Bank

A Paleostinian man was killed and at least seven were maimed during a raid by the Israeli military on the northern West Bank city of Jenin early Monday, according to Paleostinian health officials.

The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said 37-year-old Ashraf Muhammad Amin Ibrahim was fatally shot in the abdomen and chest by Israeli troops during the raid. Earlier, the official Paleostinian news agency Wafa said eight people were maimed, including one seriously, during the raid on several neighborhoods in the city.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that no suspects were arrested in Jenin, but that several weapon parts and other military equipment were seized.

The IDF said that troops came under "massive gunfire" in the city, and armed Paleostinians hurled improvised bombs, causing damage to several military vehicles.

Troops returned fire at the Paleostinian button men, hitting several of them, the IDF said.

Paleostinian media later circulated a graphic and carried a statement by the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade claiming Ibrahim was a member of the terror group as well as an intelligence officer in the Paleostinian Authority security forces.

The military said it was aware of a Paleostinian being maimed by an IED that was hurled toward troops in the northern West Bank city.

A short clip circulated by Paleostinian media outlets showed an bomb detonating near an Israeli military vehicle in Jenin.

The IDF said that troops detained six wanted Paleostinians in other areas of the West Bank during overnight raids.

The raid came hours after a Paleostinian man was shot and moderately maimed after allegedly placing an IED on a highway in the central West Bank on Sunday night.
