Israelis kill West Bank militant terrorist
Israeli troops have killed a Palestinian militant terrorist during a clash in the West Bank town of Tulkarm. An Israeli spokeswoman said the soldiers had first tried to arrest him, and he was killed only after he had fired at the troops.
"BANG! Stop or we'll shoot!"
The militant, 24-year-old Thabet Ayyadeh, was the leader of the Hamas military wing in Tulkarm. A local Hamas political leader accused Israel of seeking to provoke bloodshed and said Hamas would not remain silent.
The group's political leader in Tulkarm said there would be Dire Revenge retaliation. "This crime was committed while Hamas is abiding by the state of calm. The aim is to torpedo the calm. We won't remain silent," Rafat Nasif told the Reuters news agency.

Additional from DEBKA: Hamas Tulkarm commander Thabat Salah-e-Din killed trying to escape capture by Israeli force. An Israeli soldier slightly wounded. Long sought as mastermind of suicide attacks in Israel, he tried to shoot his way out when pinned down early Tuesday by an Israeli force. Found in his hideout were weapons and a supply of chemicals for making bomb devices. Eighteen Palestinians wanted for terrorist activity rounded up in West Bank
