Israel on high alert for revenge attacks
Sameh Arar became the seventh Hamas member to be shot dead by Israeli forces in two days when he was gunned down by a special forces unit in a raid near the West Bank town of Ramallah, Palestinian security and medical sources said yesterday.
An Israeli military source said soldiers had gone to arrest the 24-year-old in the village of Qarawat Bani Zeid but had been forced to shoot him when he tried to flee despite warning shots being fired.
