Hamas says one of its commanders in the West Bank was killed in a clash last night with Israeli forces.

In a statement, Hamas says Mohammed Jaber Abdo was killed along with three other of the group’s operatives in a village near Ramallah. It says Abdo had spent 20 years in Israeli prisons.

Israel said last night that Border Police officers killed a Palestinian gunman accused of carrying out an arson attack in a West Bank settlement farm, along with another three Palestinian terror suspects. Police said the suspects tried to ram into the officers with their car, and in response they opened fire, killing the four men.
