Israeli forces killed five Palestinians early Thursday in Nablus. The operation, which began Tuesday, is directed at Fatah-Tanzim cells in the West Bank city, which Israel claims are responsible for the most recent attempts to send suicide bombers to carry out attacks inside Israel. According to Israeli reports, in one of the incidents, three Palestinian fighters were killed in a fire exchange near an abandoned building in the old city. In another incident, the Israeli reports said, troops killed a Palestinian apparently planting an explosive device in the area. But, Palestinian provided a different version for this incident. According to Palestinian medical sources, Aladin Da'awiyeh, 25, a bakery worker, was killed while he was going to workplace when the Israeli soldiers opened their gunfire at him. He was left bleeding for two hours until he pronounced his last breath, the Palestinians said. Elsewhere, Israeli troops arrested a Palestinian in the operation, and eight others in another operation in the West Bank overnight Thursday. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Palestinian rescue personnel evacuate the body of a man killed during an Israeli incursion.
