Israeli security forces operating in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday killed three Palestinian gunmen responsible for recent shooting attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians, Israeli defense officials announced.
Israeli troops rarely conduct such operations in broad daylight inside major Palestinian cities. Even more unusually, the dead gunmen belonged to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a coalition of armed groups associated with the Palestinian Authority’s ruling Fatah party.
Chasdei HaShem no soldiors were injured in the operation.
