Israeli forces kill three Palestinians in Nablus
Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday, killing three Palestinians.
In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry said the fatal shooting took place in Nablus’ al-Tur area.
Citing security sources, the Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that the occupation forces closed the area for several hours and prevented medical staff and journalists from approaching the scene.
The slain Palestinians were later identified as Nour al-Arda, 32, Montaser Salama, 33, and Saad al-Kharaz, 43.
The regime's soldiers also seized the car as well as the bodies of the victims, the report added.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses said that Israeli troops deliberately targeted surveillance cameras in the area in an attempt to hide evidence of their crime, it said.

The Israeli military said its forces had “engaged and neutralized” three alleged Palestinian gunmen, claiming that three assault rifles, a handgun, and other equipment were confiscated from their vehicle.
The Palestinian Hamas resistance movement said that the crime is added to the list of atrocities committed by the fascist Zionist regime.
“The martyrdom of the three young Palestinians does not weaken resistance [to the Israeli occupation]… and our youth will keep to the path until they achieve their goal,” the Gaza-based group added.
Tensions have been high across the occupied West Bank for the past year and a half, with the Israeli military carrying out violent raids and the Palestinians responding in retaliatory attacks.
At least 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since the beginning of this year.
