Israeli troops killed a 65-year-old Palestinian on Friday during a raid, the dead man's wife and local residents said. An Israeli military spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the raid. The dead man, Amr Qawasme, was asleep when soldiers broke into his home before dawn. His wife, Sobheye, said they brushed past her into the bedroom, where she heard several shots fired. When she went in, she found her husband in a pool of blood. "I was praying when they entered. I do not know how they opened the door. They put their hand to my mouth and a rifle to my head," she told Reuters after Qawasme's body was removed. "I was shocked. They did not allow me to talk. I asked them, 'What did you do?' They asked me to shut up." Reuters Television footage showed Qawasme's sodden bed and bullet casings on the floor.
