Israel kills militant in West Bank raid
2006-06-14
JENIN, West Bank - Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian fighter in the West Bank early on Wednesday, hours after a Gaza missile strike on a van carrying militants and rockets killed 11 Palestinians, nine of them civilians.

In mounting violence, Israeli soldiers on a raid on the West Bank city of Jenin killed Mohammed al-Wash, 26, a militant with Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, part of Palestinian President Mahmoud AbbasÂ’s Fatah movement, a Palestinian security source said. The source added that a second gunman with Wash had been wounded by Israeli troops and was arrested.

An Israeli military source said a force in the area identified an armed gunman, fired and identified hitting him.
"KAPOW" "Oh, nice shot Ari! Right in the ten ring."
Eyewitnesses said Israeli military jeeps had surrounded the only hospital in Jenin where a number of gunmen had entered after Wash was killed nearby. They said there were exchanges of gunfire between militants and Israeli troops from a refugee camp next to the hospital. There was no further comment from the Israeli military.
