NABLUS: Israeli forces on Tuesday shot dead a Hamas member.
The Palestinian was shot dead in a pre-dawn raid here today.
Hamas said the man killed overnight was a member of its armed wing.
Israeli settlements are seen as illegal under international law and a major obstacle to peace as they are built on land the Palestinians see as part of their future state.
Israel faced sharp criticism from the administration of former US president Barack Obama over settlement construction, but that has not been the case with Trump’s White House.
Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on December 6 was also hailed by Israelis, while deeply angering the Palestinians who see the city as their capital as well.
Twenty-one Palestinians have been killed since Trump’s announcement, most in clashes with Israeli forces.
