The Israeli army has killed three Palestinians and wounded four others during a ‘raid’ in the city of Nablus, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.
As per the ministry, the faces of two persons have been deformed completely due to the heavy fire they were hit with, making it difficult to identify them.
Later, they were identified as Moath Masri, Ibrahim Jabr and Hasan Qatanani.
In a statement, the Israeli army said that two of the men killed were ‘behind a shooting on April 7 north of Jericho’, in which two settler sisters died when gunmen opened fire on their vehicle. Their mother later died of her wounds.
The Israeli army and settlers have killed at least 107 Palestinians, 20 of them were children, so far in 2023, according to the health ministry and the figure includes 44-year-old Palestinian prisoner Sheikh Khader Adnan, who died on Tuesday after three-months-long hunger strike against his repeated arbitrary detention.
The death of Adnan, who was arrested on March 5 caused widespread anger and protests in the occupied West Bank and led to the exchange of rocket attacks between armed resistance groups in the besieged Gaza Strip and Israel
