Palestinian authorities say Israeli forces killed a Palestinian militant in the north of the occupied West Bank
Israeli forces killed a Palestinian militant in the restive northern West Bank on Friday, Palestinian authorities said, the latest death in a spiral of violence that has gripped the occupied territory over the last year and a half, surging to levels unseen in two decades.
The Israeli army said the incident occurred during a nighttime raid into the West Bank, after Palestinians fired and threw explosives at soldiers in the town of Kafr Dan. Soldiers shot back, hitting Hasan. The army also said it found and deactivated an explosive, arrested four suspects and confiscated two weapons Thursday night.The operation marked the latest in a series of stepped-up raids Israel has been staging in Palestinian areas of the West Bank.
Israeli media reported Friday that incendiary balloons launched from the Gaza Strip toward Israel started a fire just east of the territory, near an Israeli kibbutz. Video from the area showed small blazes burning through roadside vegetation, leaving large patches blackened and ashy. Palestinians in Gaza have launched incendiary balloons at Israel in the past, in protest against an Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed on the territory since 2007. The balloons have caused fires along the frontier near Gaza and ramped up tensions, prompting Israel on several occasions to use fighter jets to strike back against targets of the ruling Hamas group.
