RAMALLAH : Israeli special forces killed Thursday morning an activist affiliated with Islamic Jihad Movement in Jenin.
Israeli special forces, not in uniform, opened fire on Alaa’ Abu Rab’s house after surrounding it, witnesses told KUNA, adding that Israeli forces prevented Abu Rab’s family from taking him to hospital as he bled to death.
They added that Israeli forces attacked the house with grenades, opened fire, and forced the family out.
Israeli forces meanwhile say they found weapons and ammunitions in Abu Rab’s house, and that they returned fire, as Abu Rab first fired at them, according to an Israeli Army spokesman.
The spokesman added that Abu Rab was the mastermind behind a number of attacks against the Israeli Army, which were aborted.(end) nq.aia KUNA 051041 Feb 09NNNN
