HEBRON, West Bank — Israeli troops mistakenly shot and killed a 65-year-old Palestinian man in his bed during a predawn raid Friday to arrest a Hamas militant in the West Bank, Palestinian and Israeli officials said.
Palestinian security and rescue officials in the West Bank city of Hebron said Israeli troops shot and killed Omar Kawasmeh, who lived in the same building but on a different floor as the Hamas militant targeted in the early-morning raid.
The Israeli military said in a statement that it “regrets the outcome of the incident” and was investigating. Soldiers still arrested the wanted militant, Wael Mahmoud Said Bitar, during the raid.
