NABLUS, West Bank, July 29 -- Israeli troops killed two Islamic Jihad [*******]members Saturday, including the man the group described as the leader of its militant wing in the West Bank city of Nablus. [***********]
The group initially said in an announcement over mosque loudspeakers that Hani Awijan, [******]29, was the leader of its military wing in the West Bank. However, other members of the group later said Awijan led gunmen in Nablus only. [*********]
Initial reports said Awijan was shot by Israeli undercover troops trying to arrest him while he played soccer with friends and relatives. [************]
The army confirmed that soldiers operated in Nablus and that a militant was killed in an exchange of gunfire.
Israel Radio said Awijan was responsible for a series of attacks on Israelis.
News of the arrest raid spread through Nablus, and large crowds gathered at the hospital. Militants burned tires in the streets and called for a general strike in the city. Shops were quickly closed.
