HEBRON, RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Three Palestinians were killed by Israeli army fire in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, according to the Health Ministry.
A ministry statement said that one fatality occurred in the town of Beit Ummar near Hebron city and the two others in the village of Kafr Ein, northwest of Ramallah.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its medics treated 22 Palestinians injured by Israeli fire in Beit Ummar.
According to local residents, violent clashes erupted between Israeli forces and angry Palestinians during an Israeli military raid.
Israeli forces used live fire, rubber-coated bullets, and tear gas canisters during the clashes, they said.
Tension has been running high across the West Bank in recent weeks amid repeated Israeli raids to detain what they call "wanted Palestinians" or to demolish Palestinian homes. The raids spark clashes with Palestinians, causing several fatalities.
