9 Palestinians killed, dozens injured by Israeli army fire in Nablus
NABLUS, Palestine (AA) – At least nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire during a military raid in the West Bank city of Nablus on Wednesday, according to the Health Ministry.
A ministry statement said 97 others were injured, including six in critical condition.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said its medics treated some 250 people affected by tear gas fired by Israeli forces.
Israeli Army Radio said two Palestinians who were holed up inside a house in Nablus were killed at the end of an Israeli military operation in the city.
Israeli Makor Rishon daily reported that Israeli forces killed two members of the Lions’ Den group.
The newspaper said the two Palestinians were involved in an attack in which an Israeli soldier was killed in October 2022.
Israeli army forces raided Nablus early Wednesday and surrounded a house in the Old City, triggering an exchange of fire, eyewitnesses said. Explosions were also heard in the city.
Israeli forces repeatedly carried out raids in Nablus in search of members of the Lions’ Den group, which emerged in the occupied West Bank last year.
Tel Aviv accuses the group of carrying out deadly attacks on Israeli targets.
