Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian woman and wounded her two daughters during a raid on the West Bank town of Tulkarm.

Etaf Zalat, 41, died and two of her daughters were injured after Israeli troops opened fire and demolished her home during an arrest operation.

A spokesman for Israeli forces claimed they opened fire when a 'senior member' of Islamic Jihad resisted arrest.

There were several other arrests during the Israeli operation.
