Canada body-parts murder victim identified
JERUSALEM, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- An Israeli soldier was shot to death Thursday by Palestinian gunmen affiliated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction, the Jerusalem Post reported.
In the early morning attack, Palestinian gunmen ambushed a group of Israeli soldiers patrolling the West Bank city of Jenin.
A doctor summoned to the site pronounced the soldier dead.
Israel Radio reported earlier in the day both the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades of Yasser Arafat's Fatah and the Islamic Jihad's 'Al-Quds Brigades' claimed responsibility.
In recent days there has been an increase in shooting attacks between Palestinian terrorists and Israeli forces operating in the north Samaria area, where Palestinians believed involved in terrorist activities have been arrested.
Defense forces also arrested a Hamas terrorist in Nablus on the West Bank Thursday. Security officials said the 20-year-old was planning to carry out a suicide bombing in Israel within the next few days.
