RAMALLAH: Israeli troops killed a Palestinian during a raid in the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian official said, and the army said soldiers had shot at suspected militants who fled arrest.

The army said troops operating in Aqabat Jabr, a refugee camp near the city of Jericho, detained a suspected militant and opened fire on two people who tried to escape the area.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA quoted the governor of Jericho as saying that a man was fatally shot and three others wounded by the troops.

The governor said the Israeli army had not handed over the man`s body to his family.

In a separate incident, at least five people were injured when a car rammed into them in central Jerusalem on Monday, in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as a `terrorist attack`.

The Magen David Adom emergency service said the injured included a 70-year-old man who was left in a `serious condition`, as well as a 30-yearold woman.
