Israeli forces killed three Palestinians on Thursday in the flashpoint city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.

"Three killed by bullets from the Israeli occupation during its aggression in Jenin at dawn today," the ministry said.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request to comment on their latest operation in Jenin. They have conducted near-daily raids across the West Bank in the wake of deadly attacks targeting Israelis earlier in the year.
