Israeli forces kill 3 Palestinians on Friday morning operation in Jenin
The ministry did not say how the victims occurred.
Palestinian media reported that witnesses who said that Israeli troops opened fire on a car in the northern West Bank city of Jenin and killed three passengers.
Heavy exchanges of gunshots were heard in social media videos prior to the car crash. Later, social media footage showed a vehicle riddled with bloodstained bullets and residents inspecting it.
There were no immediate comments from the Israeli army, which carries out frequent night raids into Palestinian-controlled parts of the West Bank to arrest suspected and wanted Palestinian militants. Most of the arrest raids were carried out in Jenin, the hometown of several Palestinian attackers who took part in a recent series of attacks that killed at least 19 Israelis.
Hundreds of angry residents gathered outside a Jenin hospital, chanting “God is great” slogans and calling for revenge, before carrying the three bodies on stretchers and walking around the city in spontaneous protests.
