Three Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces during an alleged operation in the northern West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
A ministry statement identified the slain citizens in Kafr Qud town of northern Jenin as Abdullah Jalamneh, 27; Qais Al-Bitawi, 21; and Ahmad Nasherati, 29.
The official news agency WAFA, citing local sources, said Israeli forces raided the town with military reinforcements, surrounded an area of agricultural land, and opened fire on three young men.
The Israeli forces seized the bodies of the deceased men, reported WAFA.
Following the gunfire, the Israeli army struck a vehicle in the same area, sparking a fire that also engulfed several olive trees, WAFA added.
