NABLUS, Occupied West Bank: Israeli soldiers killed a member of Hamas during a raid on a northern West Bank refugee camp Wednesday, Palestinian security sources and the Islamist movement told AFP.

Meanwhile in Gaza, Israeli jets bombed two sites, wounding one woman, after Palestinians fired three rockets into southern Israel, Israeli and Palestinian sources said.

Palestinian security sources named the man as Ibrahim Sarhan, 21, and said he was shot dead as he emerged from a mosque during an Israeli arrest operation in Al-Fara camp.

The Israeli military said Sarhan was shot as its soldiers carried out “routine activity” at the refugee camp.

“One of the Palestinians tried to flee arrest, at which point the soldiers began an arrest procedure, eventually firing at his lower body,” a spokeswoman said.

Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad accused the Israeli troops of holding up an ambulance on its way to the scene, leading to Sarhan’s death.

“I strongly condemn the murder of Ibrahim Sarhan,” Fayyad said in a statement. “I also condemn the continued policy of Israeli military invasions into the Palestinian territories and the shooting of civilians.”

Seven Palestinians were arrested in the raid, the Israeli military spokeswoman said, adding that an explosive device was hurled at Israeli troops during the operation, causing no casualties.

After the shooting, Hamas released a statement in Gaza saying Sarhan had been one of its activists. Around 800 people attended his funeral.

The Israeli military said its air raid in northern Gaza targeted two weapons manufacturing sites. It said Tuesday night that three rockets were fired into southern Israel from Gaza. None of them caused any casualties but one caused minor damage to a home.

A fourth rocket was fired into Israel from Gaza several hours after the airstrikes, striking in the Eshkol area but causing no casualties or damage, a military spokeswoman said.
