Occupied Jerusalem: The Israeli military says troops have killed a wanted Hamas member in a raid.

The military says soldiers were trying to arrest Iyad Abu Shalabia early Friday in the town of Tulkarem in occupied West Bank when he ran at them, ignoring orders to halt.

The military says troops feared he had a weapon and shot him.

The man's brother says troops burst into his house and killed him in his bedroom.

Hamas militants killed four Israeli settlers on Sept. 1, just as new Mideast peace talks were getting under way.
