Two senior Palestinian security commanders said Wednesday that Israel has agreed to hand security control of four West Bank cities to the Palestinians within 10 days. However, a senior Israeli official said the issue has not yet been discussed, noting that Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz is abroad. The Palestinian commanders said security control is to be handed over in Ramallah, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Jericho. Undercover Israeli troops shot dead a wanted Palestinian militant on Wednesday and wounded a teenage passerby during an arrest raid in the West Bank, witnesses and security sources said. Two other Palestinians were also killed on Wednesday — a 3-year-old girl in Gaza and a West Bank village mayor who apparently stumbled across stray ordnance in an area where Israeli troops conduct live-fire exercises. The violence prompted the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades militant faction to threaten to end a de facto truce obtained by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas if the Israeli army did not halt raids and military strikes within 24 hours.
