Israeli troops killed at least three Palestinians, including a minor, and wounded at least 29 others during a massive gun battle with militants in the streets of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on June 19, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
The fighting was the latest in more than a year of near-daily violence that has wracked the West Bank.
The identified Khaled Asasa (21), Qassam Abu Sariya (29) and 15-year-old Ahmed Saqr among the killed and at least six others were seriously wounded in the shootout, Health Ministry said.
The Israeli military said, troops came under fire during an arrest raid in Jenin and shot back at Palestinian gunmen.
“As the security forces exited the city, a military vehicle was hit by an explosive device, damaging the vehicle,” the Army said, adding that helicopters “opened fire toward the gunmen in order to assist in extraction of the forces.”
Unconfirmed amateur video footage from Jenin appeared to show an Israeli military helicopter launching a rocket during the ongoing army operation.
