An Israeli soldier was shot dead and his female comrade seriously wounded today on the Israeli side of the Green Line north of the West Bank town of Tulkarem, military sources said.
The soldiers were hit when their vehicle came under fire from Palestinians, the sources said.
The woman was taken to Hillel Yaffa Hospital in the northern Israeli city of Hadera.
The death brought to 769 the number of people killed since the Palestinian intifada or uprising started on September 28 last year, including 590 Palestinians and 157 Israelis.
