Israeli Forces Kill 3 Palestinians In Nablus

Three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli raid in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday, according to the Health Ministry.

A ministry statement said 40 other people were injured in the raid, including four in critical condition.

The Israeli army said Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, a member of the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah group, was killed in the raid.

A military statement said Israeli soldiers surrounded the home of al-Nabulsi, leading to an exchange of gunfire.

Israeli forces used shoulder-launched missiles against the building in which al-Nablusi was hiding, the army said.

No injuries were reported among Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli army accuses al-Nabulsi of carrying out attacks against its forces in Nablus.

The deaths came two days after an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire ended three days of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, in which 45 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured.
