Three Palestinians were killed during an Israeli army operation in the old city of Nablus in the West Bank. Thiswas announced by the Ministry of Health, cited by Wafa. The Israeli army said two of them were responsible for the attack, which took place last month with gunfire against an Israeli car, during which 3 members of the Dean family, mother and two daughters were killed.
The Israeli army, which is operating in the city, confirmed the killing, during an operation in Nablus in the West Bank, of "Hamas terrorist operatives Hassan Ktnani and Maed Mitsri who killed Leah, Maia and Rina Dee on April 7 in a fireattack adjacent to the Hamra community." This morning - explained the military spokesman - after a "precise" intelligence report, the security forces "broke into the apartment where the terrorists were. During a firefight, both terrorists were killed." "In addition," he added, "Ibrahim Hura, a senior official who helped the two terrorists, was also killed. Two M-16 rifles and an AK-47 were found in the apartment."
According to eyewitnesses quoted by the media, the army surrounded two houses in the old city, one of which belongs to Mohammad Al-Azizi, founder of the armed militant group 'Lion's Den', killed last year.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh condemned the killing and denounced the Israeli government as responsible for "these crimes against the Palestinian people." "Israeli crimes do not stop until they start again in a more terrifying and deadly way, targeting children, women and the elderly." The PA premier called on the international community to "hold Israel accountable for its horrific crimes and ongoing violations against the Palestinian people."
