Palestinian Killed by Israeli Fire in West Bank, Military Arrests Son of Top Islamic Jihad Leader

Israeli military forces arrested the son of jailed senior Islamic Jihad commander Bassam al-Saadi and killed another Palestinian early Monday morning in raids across the West Bank.

Israeli forces arrested Yehiya al-Saadi, son of imprisoned senior Islamic Jihad operative Bassam al-Saadi, during a raid in Jenin. According to the IDF, another Palestinian was shot during the raid, although his condition remains unclear.

Bassam al-Saadi is one of the Islamic Jihad's most senior leaders in the West Bank. In August, Israel charged al-Saadi with terrorism, incitement, and membership and support of a terror organization. His high-profile arrest was largely seen as the catalyst behind Israel's three-day bombardment of the Gaza Strip in August, during which the Islamic Jihad fired over 1,000 rockets in response.

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 23-year-old Omar Manna was shot in the chest by Israeli forces during a separate raid of Deheisheh refugee camp, just south of Bethlehem.

The Israeli military spokesperson said the IDF entered the camp to arrest three wanted operatives, including Manna's brother, and an exchange of fire broke out during which Manna was shot. Suspects also threw stones and Molotov cocktails at soldiers.

Palestinian factions in the Bethlehem area have declared a general strike and a day of mourning for Manna, calling on the public to take part in his funeral procession.

On Thursday, two Palestinian militants were killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli forces near Jenin's refugee camp during an operation to arrest three militants.
