At the time, IDF troops had surrounded a nearby hideout of a wanted Islamic Jihad leader, Abdullah Wahsh, demanding that he surrender. Palestinian gunmen fired at the troops and an exchange of fire erupted, Palestinian witnesses said.
Hundreds of Palestinian youngsters threw stones at the soldiers, who returned fire and called in helicopter gunships, the witnesses said.
"Several bullets hit the trailer and hit him," UN spokesman Sami Mashasha said. He added that UN investigators were expected to arrive in Jenin yesterday, and that Hook's body would be taken to Jerusalem for an autopsy in the evening.
