IDF troops operating in the West Bank kill 16-year-old Palestinian
By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service

A 16-year-old Palestinian youth was shot and killed early Monday morning during clashes with the Israel Defense Forces in Ramallah.

Palestinian sources reported that the youth, Mohammed Jabbarin, was not armed and was shot after he hurled rocks at Israeli troops. The IDF had been carrying out a routine operation in the West Bank town when the clash erupted.

The IDF said that troops had identified an armed militant and opened fire, hitting the target.

Troops also arrested 13 wanted Palestinians in pre-dawn raids, Israel Radio reported.

Meanwhile, Palestinian militants fired several mortar shells into Israel from the central Gaza Strip. No one was injured and no damage was caused.

Late Sunday, IDF troops opened fire on an armed Palestinian attempting to infiltrate the West Bank settlement of Shavei Shomron, west of Nablus.

The soldiers noticed the Palestinian trying to enter the settlement and called out to him to halt. The man refused and opened fire on the troops. None of the soldiers were injured.

The soldiers returned fire, upon which the Palestinian fled the scene. IDF forces are combing the area near the settlement for the gunman.

Meanwhile Sunday, a Qassam rocket landed north of the western Negev town of Sderot. There were no injuries reported, but a nearby structure suffered some damage.

IDF troops earlier Sunday killed two Palestinian militants in separate incidents in the West Bank cities of Hebron and Nablus.

In Hebron, gunmen shot at soldiers who entered their neighborhood in response to an outbreak of violence between feuding family. The army patrol returned fire, killing a man identified as Baha al-Azuni and wounding two others.

Earlier Sunday, a Fatah-linked militant was shot dead by troops Sunday during a military operation, Palestinian sources said.

The militant was identified as Yusuf Al-A'asi of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. In a separate incident in the city, troops shot and wounded a Palestinian man.

Palestinian sources said IDF troops were operating overnight Saturday in the southern Gaza Strip near the Sufa Crossing. According to the sources, tanks and bulldozers entered the Strip with the support of helicopters. The sources added that troops carried out arrests.

The IDF confirmed that troops targeted a militant cell in southern Gaza that had been involved in attacks on Israel, adding that a Qassam rocket was fired at Israel on Sunday morning.
