Israeli undercover security forces killed a member of Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah faction in Hebron. Imad Abu Sneineh was suspected of involvement in shooting attacks. Israel defends its policy of “targeted killings” of suspected Palestinian terrorists, but the international community condemns what it calls “assassinations.”
