| #2 BBC follow-up with a little more detail: "Palestinian sources said the man was Malek Nasser Eddin, 35, a member of militant group Hamas. The Israeli army said he had long been on its wanted list. It said he was killed in his cousin's house in Hebron after refusing to surrender and opening fire on troops surrounding the building." |
