Israeli forces killed a member of the Palestinian Islamist 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 an operation against suspected militants when they saw a Palestinian preparing to throw a pipe bomb at them and shot him. Jenin residents and hospital officials said the 23-year-old Palestinian was shot in the back. Hamas, which has a limited presence in the West Bank though it exercises control over Gaza, claimed the dead Palestinian as a member.
