Israeli forces kill Palestinian in West Bank
Israeli forces have killed a suspected Palestinian fighter
wanted for his alleged involvement in a Tel Aviv bus bombing last year. The
Shin Bet, which is in charge of Israeli internal security, said the Palestinian
was killed on Tuesday in an exchange of fire with security forces who had come
to arrest him near the village of Bilin in the occupied West Bank. It
said Mohammed Assi helped to plan a bus bombing in Tel Aviv last November
in which 29 people were wounded. The Islamic Jihad group said Assi, 28, was one
of its members. Violence has been on the rise in recent weeks in the West Bank.
Five other Palestinians have been shot dead in the territory by Israeli troops
and three Israelis have been killed in clashes and shootings since the
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks resumed in July.
