STORYLINE:

Despite a new U.S. call to halt incursions, Israeli troops entered the West Bank town of Qalqilia on Friday, killing a local militia leader in a firefight.

Israeli tanks rumbled into Qalqiliya at 4 a.m. (0100 GMT) Friday, and left in the early hours of Saturday morning.

During the incursion, Raed Nazal, the local leader of a radical PLO faction, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was killed in a firefight between soldiers and Palestinian gunmen.

Sixteen Palestinians were arrested in the town, including several who were on Israel's wanted list, the Israeli military said.

Palestinians said Israeli troops blew up an emtpy four-story building and destroyed two apartments, one with explosives and the other by firing a tank shell.
