A Palestinian wanted by Israel was killed early Wednesday during an army arrest operation in a refugee camp near the Samarian town of Jericho, the army said.
Troops had entered the camp of Aqwar Jaba to make arrests of three wanted men from the Islamic Jihad terrorist group, the army spokesman said.
The soldiers surrounded three houses and called on the suspects to come out, the army said. Two of the men emerged and were arrested, but the third did not, the army said.
After firing at the house in an effort to get the suspect to emerge, troops entered and saw a "suspicious figure" under mattresses in one of the rooms, the spokesman said. The soldiers fired and killed the suspect, the army said.
The Israeli army conducts almost nightly arrest raids in Palestinian areas of Judea and Samaria.
