ISRAELI FORCES KILLED three Palestinian militants in the West Bank today, the army said, the latest deaths in a surge of violence rocking the occupied territory.
The army on today said that “a vehicle carrying a squad of terrorists from the Jenin refugee camp was identified while on its way to carry out an attack”. Deputy governor of Jenin Kamal Abu Al-Roub told AFP the Israeli army had “taken the car and the bodies”.Abu Swiess, according to the army statement, was “involved in military action against Israeli security forces and advancing military activity directed by terrorists in the Gaza Strip”, the coastal enclave controlled by Palestinian militant group Hamas.
“Our Palestinian people and their courageous resistance will not let the occupation’s aggression pass without a price,” said Hamas in a separate statement. Over the past 18 months, the security situation in the camp has deteriorated with repeated Israeli raids which security forces say are to pursue militants.
