An overnight Israeli military raid in the West Bank city of Jenin left three Palestinians dead early on Thursday, according to the Palestinian Authority Health Ministry.
According to reports, Israeli military forces raided the city in an attempt to arrest wanted Palestinians, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. Three Palestinians were arrested in Jenin, according to the Israeli army.
Palestinian media confirmed the three dead as Atta Shalabi, Sidqi Zakharna and Tarek al-Damej. Shalabi was 46, from the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin. Zakharna and al-Damej were both from Jenin, 22 and 32, respectively.
Multiple circulating images show Zakharna and al-Damej with assault rifles, indicating they were involved with militant groups. On Thursday, local wings of the Islamic Jihad militant group said their fighters were engaged in "fierce clashes."
