Israeli Soldiers Kill 4 Palestinians Israeli troops have killed four Palestinians in an early morning raid on a home in the occupied West Bank. Israel says its forces went to a home in the Jenin refugee camp Saturday to capture a Hamas Islamist militant who was a suspect in past attacks on Israel. Palestinian officials say the Israeli military surrounded the house and ordered Hamza Abu el-Heija outside. The military says the suspect refused and opened fire, wounding two Israeli soldiers. The military returned fire and killed the militant. Israel say protesters gathered on the site and attacked the soldiers. The troops opened fire, killing three Palestinians. Tensions have been heating up in the area in recent months amid a lack of progress in the Middle East peace talks. The talks resumed last July after a three-year lull. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/israeli-soldiers-kill-4-palestinians/ 1876862.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/israeli-soldiers-kill-4-palestinians/1876862.html
