        A Palestinian gunman who is the brother of a prominent Palestinian militant died Sunday after being critically wounded in clashes with Israeli forces, according to the Israeli hospital where he was being treated.
        
        Daoud Zubeidi was wounded in clashes with the Israeli military in the West Bank city of Jenin on Friday.
        
        Zubeidi is the brother of Zakaria Zubeidi, a jailed Palestinian militant who briefly became one of Israel’s most wanted fugitives after tunneling out of a high-security prison last year. He was eventually caught and returned to prison.
        
        Police said a 47-year-old member of a special Israeli commando unit was killed in those clashes.
        
        Daoud Zubeidi was taken to Israel's Rambam hospital where he was sedated and on a respirator and where his death was pronounced Sunday.
