RAMALLAH: Israeli forces shot dead three innocent Palestinians in separate incidents across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, as violence continues to surge in the region during the ongoing Israeli brutalities in Gaza, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The ministry reported that the victims, aged between 29 to 31, were martyred by Israeli forces at dawn in separate localities. The shooting incidents occurred in Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah, in Nablus’s Askar refugee camp, and in Tubas, a town further north.
The Israeli military stated that the confrontations happened during different actions carried out by their forces.
