RAMALLAH, Feb 2 (KUNA) — A Palestinian was killed and four Israeli militants injured by gun shots in Al-Khalil (Hebron) on Monday.
A Spokesman of the Israeli Army said a Palestinian opened fire on forces in Hebron, which returned fire killing him and injuring four others.
The spokesman did not reveal the name of the militant who was killed or the four others who were taken into Israeli territory. He added, however, that the man had opened fire while in his vehicle.
Other Israeli sources said the Palestinian was driving a car rigged with explosives and was trying to get it into Israeli territory.
Palestinian sources in Al-Khalil said the man killed could have been a post worker, particularly since the area where the incident took place is on the borders with Beir El-Sabe.(end) ng.hs KUNA 021437 Feb 09NNNN
