Israeli soldiers kill Palestinian in West Bank: sources

Nablus, Palestinian Territories: Israeli soldiers on Wednesday killed a young Palestinian man, while looking for an activist of the Islamic Jihad Movement at a refugee camp in the West Bank's north, Palestinian security sources said.

Ibrahim Sarhan, 21, was shot dead while emerging from a mosque, they said, during the Israeli search operation in the Al Farah refugee camp near Nablus. Sarhan did not belong to any Palestinian political group, they said.

Israeli soldiers arrested five people during the raid in the camp. Israeli fighter jets meanwhile bombed two arms factories in Gaza overnight, the army said in a statement. Both facilities were destroyed.
