Israeli forces killed a West Bank gunman.

Commandos surrounded the hideout of an Islamic Jihad fugitive near Tulkarm early Monday, calling on him to surrender.

The gunman opened fire, lightly wounding an Israeli army officer and prompting the military to send a bulldozer to demolish his house before shooting him dead.
