RAMALLAH, West Bank, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed a Palestinian during a raid on Monday in the occupied West Bank, a local hospital said. The Islamic Jihad militant group issued a statement mourning the man"s death, but did not immediately claim his as a member. Israel"s paramilitary border police said undercover forces opened fire at Palestinians who hurled explosive devices at them at close range after they detained a wanted militant in the West Bank city of Nablus and seized an assault rifle in his home. In a statement, the border police said one of the Palestinians who threw the explosives towards the unit was hit by the Israeli gunfire. Officials at a local hospital said he died of his wounds. Israel captured the West Bank in a 1967 war. Palestinians seek to establish a state in the territory and in the Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Israeli-Palestinian peace talks collapsed in 2014.
