TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli forces raided a home above a bakery in a militant stronghold in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, killing one man in a gunbattle in Jenin, a city that has seen some of the worst bloodshed in the current round of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.Violence has gripped the region since last spring, when Israel launched near-nightly raids in response to a spate of deadly Palestinian attacks. It’s become the fiercest fighting in the West Bank in some two decades, and along with increased violence by radical Jewish settlers and settlement expansion by Israel’s far-right government, has fueled tensions in the region.Early Thursday, Israeli troops surrounded a building containing a bakery and a home. In a statement, the Israeli military said special forces were arresting two militant suspects when they came under fire, shot back and entered the building.The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the man killed as Mustafa al-Kastouni, 32.

(CNN) — Ötzi, el Hombre de Hielo, cuyos restos congelados fueron encontrados en un barranco en lo alto de los Alpes tiroleses por excursionistas en 1991, es quizás el cadáver más estudiado del mundo.El misterio sobre su muerte violenta, quién era y cómo terminó en un paso de montaña ha despertado una fascinación que va más allá del campo de la arqueología. Cada año, miles visitan su momia contenida en una celda fría especial en el Museo de Arqueología del Tirol del Sur en Bolzano, Italia.Un nuevo estudio de ADN antiguo extraído de la pelvis de Ötzi sugiere que todavía tiene algunos secretos que revelar. El análisis de su composición genética reveló que la momia de 5.300 años de antigüedad tenía piel oscura y ojos oscuros, y probablemente era calva. Esto contrasta con la reconstrucción de Ötzi que representa a un hombre de piel pálida con una abundante cabellera y barba.“Anteriormente se creía que su piel se había oscurecido durante el proceso de momificación”, dijo Albert Zink...Latest news
