Palestinian protesters hurl stones toward Israeli troops during clashes against the killing of three Palestinians this week by Israeli forces, in the West Bank city of Hebron on Friday (February 11).

Three Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in Nablus during what Israel described as an operation against a terrorist group.

On the other side, Palestine called on the international community to investigate the Israeli killing, as its cabinet called on the United Nations, the human rights organizations, and the international law organizations to "condemn the awful crime and act."

Recent weeks have seen a sharp rise in violence in the Old City of Hebron, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2017.
