WEST BANK (Dispatches) –
Zionist troops martyred three Palestinians in an ambush after firing at a vehicle they were in near the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Sunday, according to the military.
The apparent targeted killing took place on a road near Arraba town southwest of Jenin.
After firing dozens of bullets at the car and killing the three men inside, Zionist troops prevented medics from reaching them and withheld their bodies and the vehicle, according to Palestinian media reports.
Earlier Zionist settlers in the occupied West Bank raided a Palestinian village, accompanied by regime troops, Anadolu reports.
Dozens of settlers conducted the raid in Et-Tevane, in the Mesafir Yatta area in southern Al-Khalil, according to sources.
Settlers set fire to Palestinian-owned vehicles and attacked Palestinians who protested, leading to fighting with residents.
Zionist troops intervened and used tear gas and rubber-coated bullets against Palestinians.
Some victims faced suffocation due to the tear gas.
Soldiers also assaulted and arrested a 19-year-old Palestinian, according to the Palestinian official news agency, WAFA.
In another incident, a group of Zionist settlers gathered at a checkpoint to the entrance to Ramallah and threw stones at Palestinian-owned vehicles, causing damage.
At the entrance to the Turmus Aya district in Ramallah, soldiers opened fire on a vehicle.
The West Bank has witnessed frequent raids and attacks by settlers under the protection of Zionist troops throughout the year.
Also on Sunday, the Zionist troops prepped the family home of a Palestinian fighter for demolition, a day after he allegedly killed a Zionist security guard in an attack.
On Saturday a Palestinian gunman allegedly shot and killed 42-year-old security guard Chen Amir in central Tel Aviv. The attacker, identified by police as 27-year-old Kamel Abu Bakr, was shot at the scene and died later in hospital.
The shooting came a day after two Zionist settlers were arrested on suspicion of killing a Palestinian man in the West Bank on Friday night. Palestinian officials said armed settlers entered the West Bank village of Burqa and shot 19-year-old Qusai Matan.
