Palestinian killed in Israeli raid on hospital

A Palestinian related to a man suspected of being behind an anti-Israeli attack was killed by undercover Israeli agents in a West Bank hospital, Palestinian and Israeli sources said.
 
"Abdallah Azzam Shalaldeh, aged 27, was killed by a unit of (undercover agents) at the Hebron hospital," said the Palestinian health ministry.
 
Israel's internal security services confirmed the raid, saying that Israeli forces fired when the man — thought to be close to Azzam Shalaldeh, who carried out a knife attack in October — tried to resist arrest.
 
One month has passed since the beginning of what some are calling a new Palestinian “Intifada” (uprising) in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, which has left scores of Palestinians dead and hundreds injured.
