STORYLINE:

Three Palestinian men were killed on Tuesday in clashes with Israeli forces after they were surrounded near the town of Qabatiya in Jenin, northern West Bank.

"We were informed by the General Authority for Civil Affairs that three young men were killed by Israeli forces' bullets near Qabatiya," the Ramallah-based Palestinian Health Ministry said in a press statement.

The ministry identified the victims as 24-year-old Raed Hanaysheh, 25-year-old Anwar Sabaaneh, and 32-year-old Suleiman Tazaza.

Israel Police said in a statement on Tuesday that during a "counterterrorism" operation that was carried out this morning in the Jenin area, the police, in cooperation with the Shin Bet and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), killed three militants and seized weapons.

The West Bank has been witnessing an escalation of tension since Oct. 7, 2023, which has led to the killing of more than 770 Palestinians by Israeli bullets and shelling, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
