Yassin Agha hid on the top of a building in the Khan Yunis refugee camp when troops conducted searches there for suspected militants, the army said. When soldiers tried to arrest Agha, he fled, and soldiers shot him, the army said.
In searches carried out after Agha’s death, soldiers found a bag with pipe bombs and an automatic weapon, the army said.
