The official, Khaled Abdel Aziz, says the man, Islam Tubasi, died of wounds sustained in the shootout with Israeli soldiers early today. Another 3 Palestinians were wounded. The Israeli military says troops returned fire after Palestinians threw fire bombs and shot at them as they were trying to apprehend a suspect.
The wanted man was shot while trying to flee the scene and died at a hospital later.
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner says there will be a review of the incident.
