JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military says troops killed a Palestinian after he threw a firebomb at them during clashes that broke out as they carried out an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank. Israel has launched nightly arrest raids across the territory as part of a monthslong campaign that it says is aimed at dismantling militant groups following a string of deadly attacks. The military said on Wednesday that its soldiers came under fire during the arrest of a wanted person in the Faraa refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The Islamic Jihad militant group claimed the deceased as a “martyr,” but his brother said he was unarmed.
