Three Palestinians presented by the Israeli army as members of a “terrorist cell” were killed on Wednesday evening in a drone strike in the occupied West Bank after another day of violence in this territory.

The car in which they were traveling was targeted after “open fire” in the Jenin region (northern West Bank), according to a military statement. According to Kamal Abou Al-Roub, deputy governor of Jenin, the three men were from the refugee camp in this city, the scene of a deadly raid by the Israeli army on Monday and their car was hit by “missiles”.

Calling this development a“dangerous climbing”the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas claimed that this “crime” wouldn’t stay “not unpunished”. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad called the three dead “heroic martyrs”.

Earlier, a Palestinian had been killed in Turmusayya, a locality between Ramallah and Nablus attacked in the afternoon by dozens of Israelis. The Israeli army, which has occupied the West Bank since 1967, said in a statement that Israelis had “burning of vehicles and properties belonging to Palestinians” and that his soldiers had intervened in Turmusayya “to put out the fires” And “prevent clashes”. “The State of Israel is a state of law (and) all citizens are bound to obey the law”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video after the events. “We will not accept any agitation” in the West Bank.
