Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian and launched a wide-scale arrest in West Bank, including Palestinian speaker Azizi Dweik, few days after the abduction of three Israelis earlier last week.
![Palestinian Speaker Aziz Dweik]()
As thousands of troops pressed on with the biggest arrest operation in years, 19-year-old Ahmad Arafat Sabarin was shot dead in Jalazoun refugee camp north of Ramallah during clashes after soldiers entered the camp, Palestinian medics and security sources told AFP.
Dweik was arrested on Sunday overnight during a wave of arrests linked to the abduction of three Israelis.
The occupation military said in a statement that the IOF had arrested more than 40 suspects in the West Bank, "including Hamas leadership and operatives", with a military spokeswoman confirming to AFP that the speaker was among them.
However, Amani Sarahna, spokeswoman for the Ramallah-based Palestinian Prisoners Club, told AFP 60 people were detained on Sunday overnight, noting that the wave of arrests was still ongoing in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.
More than 150 Palestinians have been arrested in the search for the three Israelis who were snatched from the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the southern West Bank on Thursday night.
So far, there has been no formal claim of responsibility.
