3 Palestinians shot dead by Israeli forces near Jenin
JERUSALEM – Three Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces near the West Bank city of Jenin, said Israel’s domestic intelligence service Shin Bet.
Shin Bet said that four Israeli soldiers were also injured in what was an operation to arrest the Palestinians. The Palestinians targeted for arrest opened fire, to which Israeli forces responded, leading to their death.
The statement accused the three of carrying out a recent shooting attack in the city of Tulkarm and of harboring plans “to carry out more attacks in the near future.”
Shin Bet said weapons and hand grenades were allegedly found in their car.
Al-Quds Brigades, a subsidiary of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement, confirmed the death of the three, saying they were group members.
It identified the three as Saeb Abhara, 30, Khalil Tawalbeh, 24, and Saif Abu Libdeh, 25, saying they died as a result of “a treacherous Zionist assassination”.
An official with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society also informed that Israeli forces seized the bodies of the three dead Palestinians.
