Israel says Palestinian commander among 7 killed in Qabatiya, West Bank

The Israeli military says Shadi Zakarneh, who the army and Shin Bet identify as the head of a fighter cell in the occupied West Bank’s Qabatiya city, was among seven Palestinians killed on Thursday, Al Jazeera reports.

During the raid in Qabatiya near Jenin, Israeli troops killed four Palestinians in an exchange of fire, the military said.

Several hours later, the Israeli army carried out a drone strike against alleged gunmen who were in a car, killing three.

Zakarneh was among those killed in that drone attack, it said.
