Tel Aviv: During a search operation in the West Bank, the Israeli army opened fire indiscriminately on a house, as a result of which 3 Palestinian youths were martyred.
According to the international news agency, Israeli forces searched houses in the West Bank city of Nablus. Meanwhile, they threw a bomb at a house and entered inside and opened fire.
3 Palestinian youths were martyred in Israeli army firing, while two youths living in the neighborhood were also injured and shifted to a nearby hospital. The condition of one of the injured is said to be critical.
The Israeli army alleged that the two Palestinian youths killed were gunmen who last month shot and killed a British-Israeli mother, Lucy Leah Dee, and her two daughters, Maya and Rena, in the Jordan Valley in the West Bank.
A spokesman for the Israeli security forces said the third Palestinian youth killed had sheltered the killers of the Israeli mother and daughters and was trying to escape during the raid.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Health of Palestine, it is said that dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, were brought to the hospital injured in the aggression carried out by the Israeli army during the raids in the city of Nablus.
Due to the actions of the Israeli army in Nablus, the Directorate of Education has suspended educational activities in schools until the end of the military operation.
Since the beginning of this year, more than 100 Palestinian youths have been martyred by Israeli firing, while 16 Israelis were also killed in various attacks.
