(08:25) IDF forces move into Ramallah after Jerusalem killing

Army forces launched a four-hour incursion into Ramallah following an ambush on an Israeli car in northern Jerusalem which killed one Israeli man late last night.

The army said that its troops entered the southern sectors of the Palestinian-controlled city in retaliation for the ambush on the road between Jerusalem's French Hill and Ramot neighborhoods.

The raid by IDF tanks and infantry came under very heavy light arms fire from the Palestinians. IAF Apache helicopters also participated in the raid, according to reports. The army said a number of arrests were made, reportedly of key fugitives. The IDF withdrew before dawn.

The Palestinians reported at least one security man, Ali al-Yaseany, 26,was killed.

Dozens of others were wounded in the strike. They also reported that some IDF tanks penetrated all the way to the Palestinian Legislative Council building, a symbol of Palestinian autonomy.

Israeli forces arrested a few Palestinians in the operation, the army said.

Israel Radio reported Palestinian sources as saying the IDF had attempted to reach the Palestinian TV and radio broadcasting studios, but failed.
