Israeli soldiers killed three Palestinian resistance fighters near Jenin early on Thursday, two days after the occupation forces brutally raided the West Bank city’s refugee camp and killed at least six Palestinians.
Israeli occupation forces raided the town of Jabaa, sparking clashes with resistance fighters who rushed to defend the town which lies south of Jenin.
Occupation forces then killed three fighters as they were in their car, Palestinian media reported, noting that the martyrs belong to Jabaa Battalion of the Islamic Jihad Palestinian resistance movement.
Israeli media confirmed the attack, citing occupation police as saying that “undercover officers entered the Palestinian village of Jabaa to arrest two men wanted for a series of shooting attacks against Israeli forces in the area and the nearby Israeli outpost of Homesh.”
Jabaa Battalion, a local wing of the Islamic Jihad Palestinian resistance movement, said three of its fighters were martyred in a coward Israeli assassination operation.
