A Palestinian youth was killed on Thursday by soldiers during an arrest raid in a village located south of the West Bank city of Jenin.

Palestinian sources said soldiers were looking for Rabia Assa, a member of Fatah's military wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.

Rabia managed to escape but his brother Amjad was arrested.

A group of teenagers in the village confronted soldiers by hurling stones. Soldiers opened fire killing Ahmad Asa and two other teenagers.

On Wednesday two Palestinians were killed in exchanges of fire with soldiers in Nablus. The two were members of the al-Aqsa Brigades.
