Israeli troops kill three militants wanted for murder of Jewish settlers
Israeli troops engaged in a fierce gun battle in the heart of Nablus, resulting in the killing of three Palestinians wanted for their involvement in a deadly attack on Israelis. Two of the suspects were alleged to be militants affiliated with Hamas.
The military said the men were responsible for an attack on a car near a Jewish West Bank settlement in which a British-Israeli mother and two daughters were killed. The operation comes days after a Palestinian prisoner who was on a lengthy hunger strike died in Israeli custody, prompting militants in Gaza to launch a volley of rockets and airstrikes in response.
