Al-Quds (IP)- On early Friday, three Palestinians were Martyred and eight others wounded by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

Iran PressMiddle East: Palestinian media quoted witnesses saying Israeli troops opened fire at a car in the northern West Bank town of Jenin and Martyred three passengers.

Heavy exchanges of gunfire were heard in videos circulated on social media before the incident. Afterward, footage on social media showed a bullet-riddled vehicle with bloodstains and residents inspecting it. 

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which carries out frequent overnight raids in Palestinian-controlled parts of the West Bank, where at least 19 Israelis have been killed recently.  

Hundreds of angry Palestinians gathered outside a Jenin hospital, chanting “God is Great” slogans and calling for revenge before carrying the three bodies on stretchers and walking through the town in a spontaneous protest. 

The killing of Palestinians by Israeli militants has intensified since the beginning of this year, with 70 Palestinians, mostly residents of the West Bank and Al Quds, being shot dead by the Israeli army.
