Four shot dead in Israeli West Bank raid

Israeli undercover forces shot and killed four Palestinians today in the West Bank town of Jenin, Palestinians said.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment.

Palestinians said Israeli troops disguised as Arabs opened fire on a Palestinian vehicle, killing the four.

Two were members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a violent offshoot of Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement. The identity of the other two was not known.
