Occupied West Bank: Israeli occupation soldiers killed a Palestinian and captured another in a clash in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, claiming they were part of a cell responsible for an ambush in which a Jewish colonist was shot dead.

Two police commandos were wounded in the raid in the city of Jenin, a spokesman said.

Such flare-ups have been rare in the West Bank, where Palestinian security forces last year resumed cooperation with Israel despite the stalling of negotiations on statehood.
