JERUSALEM // An Israeli soldier and a Palestinian militant were killed in separate army raids in the West Bank yesterday, and Hamas warned after the killing of one of its operatives Tuesday that it would not renew a cease-fire due to expire at the end of the year.

More than a week of violence has severely shaken the truce and dimmed hopes for a revival of peace efforts after Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in September. Israeli raids and airstrikes have killed 15 Palestinians — militants and civilians — after a Palestinian suicide bombing Oct. 26 that killed five Israelis.

The militant Islamic Jihad group said the bombing was revenge for Israel's killing of one of its West Bank commanders. Yesterday, the first Israeli serviceman was killed in action since the Gaza withdrawal. The soldier, Staff Sgt.

Yonatan Evron, 20, was fatally shot during the arrest of a Hamas militant at a house in the village of Marka-near Jenin in the northern West Bank, the army said. Brig. Gen. Yair Golan, the commander of Israeli forces in the West Bank, said that after the militant was taken into custody, a gunman opened fire at troops surrounding the house, killing the soldier.

In another army raid near Jenin in the town of Kabatiya, soldiers exchanged fire with Palestinian gunmen, killing Raafat Turkman, 22, from the militant Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. The army said troops had shot three gunmen who fired on them.

How this transcription was made

Date and publication rest on the collector's slide label; no masthead, folio or printed dateline appears on this clipping.

Context added by this archive

Clipped article, no masthead, no folio, no printed date, so the date is label-only; the internal chronology matches 3 Nov 2005 and matches the Boston Globe clipping of the same dispatch on slide 65. The large block set 'HAMAS SPOKESMAN / "IT REMAINS A ONE-SIDED CALM. ...

NO ONE SHOULD DREAM ANOTHER CALM IS COMING."' is a PULL QUOTE, not a deck; the deck is the single line 'Hamas says it will not renew cease-fire at the end of the year'.

The byline carries no paper credit on this clipping, although Greenberg writes for the Chicago Tribune; the article's tagline at the end of column four reads 'Joel Greenberg writes for the Chicago Tribune.' WIRE-COPY DIVERGENCE: the Sun follows the Globe on 'Kabatiya' and 'Raafat Turkman' but follows the Tribune on 'Brig.

Gen.' and on 'Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades' without an apostrophe; it alone adds the date 'Oct. 26' for the suicide bombing and alone uses the double slash '//' after the dateline. PRINTER'S ERROR PRESERVED: the clipping sets 'the village of Marka-near Jenin', with a hyphen left in from a line break; transcribed as printed.

Right-hand half of the clipping is taken up by an advertisement.
