Israeli forces kill senior Palestinian militant in West Bank

WATCH VIDEO

An Israeli military source reports that a unit of paramilitary border police identified the wanted man as a senior operative in the area, and surrounded the vehicle in which he was travelling.

Elsewhere in the territory, four Israelis were wounded in a Palestinian shooting attack outside the Jewish settlement of Naaleh.

The al-Aqsa group has claimed responsibility for the shooting outside Naaleh. But it's unclear whether the Israeli operation near Jenin was carried out in response to the attack.

The latest violence coincides with the annual Palestinian Prisoners Day. This yearly event sees vigils and rallies held in the the West Bank and Gaza to press Israel to release 11-thousand jailed Palestinians.
