Israeli forces shoot dead three Palestinians in West Bank raid

Israeli soldiers opened fire on a house in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank early Saturday, killing at least three Palestinians including a 17-year-old, officials said.

A large contingent of occupation forces surrounded the northern West Bank home in attempt to abduct Hamza Abu al-Heja, a 22-year-old member of Palestinian resistance faction Hamas.

Soldiers then opened fire on the house after Heja refused to surrender, killing him along with 22-year-old Yazan Mahmoud Basim Jabarin, and 17-year-old Mahmoud Abu Zeina.

At least seven other Palestinians were injured in the assault, according to Ma’an.

Medical and security sources cited by AFP put the number of Palestinians injured at 14, with two in critical condition.

Israel’s army confirmed the assault, but said they killed four Palestinians.
