JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian authorities say Israeli forces killed a Palestinian militant in the north of the occupied West Bank. It marks the latest death in a spiral of violence that has gripped the territory over the last year and a half and has reached levels unseen in two decades. The Islamic Jihad militant group claimed the man as its fighter and identified him as 18-year-old Abdallah Abu Hasan. The Palestinian Health Ministry said Hasan was shot by Israeli forces early on Friday morning in a Palestinian village north of the West Bank city of Jenin.
