Israeli Soldiers Kill Palestinian in West Bank Raid
Tue Sep 28, 2004 05:26 AM ET

JENIN, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot dead an unarmed mentally handicapped Palestinian during a raid on Tuesday on a West Bank refugee camp on the fourth anniversary of a Palestinian uprising.
An Israeli military source said soldiers were searching for militants and explosives in Jenin refugee camp.

Residents called the operation the biggest in the Jenin area in almost a year and said hundreds of troops had commandeered rooftops and were conducting house-to-house searches.

The army put the refugee camp under curfew overnight and witnesses said soldiers shot a Palestinian as he came out of a house. Medics said he died of a bullet wound to the chest.

The Israeli military source said the shooting occurred after a Palestinian, known locally to have a history of mental problems, climbed a fence and approached troops.

"The soldiers called to him three times to stop. He continued to walk toward the troops and they fired at him," the source said, adding that no weapon was found on his body.

At least 3,070 Palestinians and 940 Israelis have been killed since the uprising broke out following the visit of then opposition leader, now Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, to a disputed Jerusalem holy site on September 28, 2000.
