October 9, 2005
NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) – Israeli soldiers shot dead a
Palestinian gunman in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, a
Palestinian militant group and the army said.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, part of President Mahmoud Abbas’s
Fatah faction, announced the death over loudspeakers in the
city of Nablus, saying one of its members was killed in a gun
battle with Israeli troops.
An army spokeswoman said soldiers patrolling a district
north of Nablus opened fire on a group of gunmen, killing one.
There were no Israeli casualties.
