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.

Israeli troops have been conducting near-nightly arrest raids in the West Bank for over a year in response to a wave of Palestinian attacks against Israelis. The Palestinians view the raids as an extension of Israel’s long-standing occupation of their land. The raids have been met with an increase in Palestinian attacks, with nearly 50 Israelis and 250 Palestinians killed during the same period.

The violence in Nablus is part of a relentless wave of violence that has plagued the region for years. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing since the establishment of Israel in 1948, with both sides claiming the same land. The conflict has resulted in countless deaths and injuries on both sides, and has drawn international attention and condemnation.

The latest violence comes at a particularly sensitive time, with tensions high in the aftermath of the death of the Palestinian prisoner and the ongoing occupation of the West Bank.

The latest bloodshed adds to the unrelenting wave of violence that has plagued the region for years, as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to simmer, resulting in countless deaths and injuries on both sides.
