The Israeli military said in its statement Wednesday that a commando unit raided Balata seeking to destroy an underground weapons factory.
While demolishing the site and its stockpile of improvised explosives, the military said a gunfight broke out in the dense camp’s warren of alleys between soldiers and armed Palestinians. Wafa reported that during the fighting, Abu Asab was shot in the head and then taken to the Rafidia hospital in Nablus where he later died from his wounds.It was not immediately clear if Abu Asab was affiliated with a militant group and he wasn’t immediately claimed as a member by any group.Israel has been staging near-nightly raids since last spring in response to a spate of deadly Palestinian attacks. It’s become the fiercest fighting in the West Bank in some two decades.
