JERUSALEM (AL-QUDS) - The "Israeli" army killed a Palestinian and arrested 17 Palestinians Monday in raids across the West Bank, despite a decision by the military to scale back such operations in order to bolster a shaky truce with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Although the cease-fire agreement does not cover the West Bank, militants in Gaza have repeatedly threatened to break the truce and launch a wave of reprisal attacks because of "Israeli" military operations there.
"I wouldn`t rule out ending the cease-fire in a few short days if the enemy continues like this," Hamas spokesman Abu Obeideh said.
After nightfall Monday, "Israeli" troops opened fire at two men in the West Bank town of Tulkarem as they were trying to flee, killing one, the military said. The other, who was the target of the arrest raid, was wounded and captured.
Palestinian security officials said the soldiers opened fire at a restaurant, killing a civilian and wounding two others - the militant and a teenager.
