NABLUS (Dispatches) – Zionist troops on Thursday killed three Palestinians allegedly wanted in connection with a shooting attack that killed a British-Zionist woman and two of her daughters, the occupying regime said, the latest bloodshed in a relentless wave of violence.
In a daytime incursion launched as residents were starting their day, the military said forces entered the heart of the flashpoint city of Nablus and raided an apartment where the men were located. Troops and the suspects exchanged fire and the three men were killed.
In a statement on Thursday, the Palestinian Health Ministry initially said the facial features of two of the victims were completely distorted due to the intensity of the shooting, making it difficult to identify them.
Palestinian eyewitnesses said Zionist troops stormed the al-Yasmina neighborhood of Nablus Old City earlier in the day and opened fire at a Palestinian house.
The occupation troops used Energa anti-tank rifle grenades during their raid and prevented medical staff from approaching the area.
Two of the Palestinian victims were later identified as Moath Masri and Hassan Katnani, with the Zionist regime’s army claiming that they were responsible for last month’s shooting attack in the Jordan Valley which killed three settlers.
The third victim was also identified as Ibrahim Jaber, who the occupying regime’s army claimed had aided Masri and Katnani in hiding.
Meanwhile, Zionist war minister Yoav Gallant issued a statement, rejoicing over the murder of the three Palestinians.
The Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement, however, asserted that the latest Zionist crime added another black page to their record.
It also urged the brave Palestinian people to keep engaging the occupying enemy and seek revenge for the blood of their martyrs.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh denounced the Zionist crime, saying the regime’s atrocities “don’t stop until they start again in a more terrifying and deadly way.”
He further called on the international community to hold Tel Aviv accountable for its horrific crimes and continuous violations against the Palestinian people.
Also on Thursday, Zionist troops fatally shot a Palestinian woman over an alleged stabbing attack in the West Bank town of Huwara near Nablus.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said the woman, identified as Eman Odeh, was taken to the Rafidia hospital in critical condition. Later reports said she succumbed to her wounds.
A 20-year-old Zionist was lightly wounded in the incident, according to the regime’s army.
Tensions have been running high between the occupying regime and the Palestinians over the past year, with the regime’s military conducting violent raids in the occupied West Bank.
