Nablus, three Palestinians killed

Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, killing three Palestinians. In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry said the fatal shooting occurred in the al-Tur area of Nablus. Citing security sources, WAFA news agency said the occupation forces closed off the area for several hours and prevented medical personnel and journalists from approaching the scene. The regime's soldiers also seized the car and bodies of the victims, the report added. Meanwhile, eyewitnesses said Israeli troops deliberately targeted surveillance cameras in the area in an attempt to hide evidence of their crime. The Israeli military said its forces "engaged and neutralized" three suspected Palestinian gunmen, claiming three assault rifles, a handgun and other equipment were confiscated from their vehicle.
