Israeli army kills Palestinian in West Bank raid

NABLUS, June 15 (AFP): Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian fighter in the West Bank Thursday, Palestinian officials said, as the army said it came under fire during a operation to demolish an apartment.
The Palestinian health ministry said in a statement that Khalil Yahya Anis, 20, was "killed by live occupation (Israeli) bullets in the head in Nablus".
An official at Nablus' Al Najah hospital told AFP that two others were injured in the overnight clashes which erupted when Israeli forces entered the city to demolish the home of an alleged attacker.
An AFP journalist saw a group of young men surveying the damage to the apartment after dawn on Thursday. Twisted metal and piles of rubble littered the floor and a gaping hole was left in a wall.
A local Palestinian security official, who did not want to be named, confirmed that Anis was a fighter, though he did not say with which group he was affiliated.
The Israeli army said that during the raid "suspects fired at the soldiers".
"The soldiers responded with riot dispersal means and live fire, hits were identified," it added.
