Israeli Troops Kill At Least 1 Palestinian in West Bank Firefight
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Israeli forces say they shot and
killed a young Palestinian man overnight in the town of Jenin, after a
firefight that left another Palestinian injured along with two Israeli
soldiers. The man was identified as Ahmed Jarrar, a Hamas fighter and
son of a Palestinian man killed by Israel in 2002. Jarrar's family said
today he escaped, and that two other Palestinians were killed in the
attack.
