(Ha'aretz/AP) Amos Harel - IDF soldier Ro'i Oren, 20, was killed Friday near the West Bank city of Nablus when troops sent to arrest Hamas suspects came under fire from Palestinians located on the third floor of a building. Palestinian witnesses said the IDF evacuated Palestinian families from the building. Then the soldiers aimed an anti-tank missile at the third floor, setting off a series of blasts when it hit explosives, killing at least one of the terrorists. The IDF is continuing its operations in the West Bank to arrest Palestinian terror suspects, and sends forces into Palestinian towns and villages almost every night to make arrests.
