Israeli forces kill three Palestinians in West Bank raid

At least three Palestinians were killed and six others injured during an overnight raid by Israeli troops in the Balata refugee camp in the West Bank. The Israeli military has not confirmed any casualties. The al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade terror group claimed the three slain men were members of the organization and were killed while battling Israeli forces. It is unclear why Israeli troops entered the town, but clashes are common during overnight arrest raids or other military operations deep in Palestinian Authority-controlled areas.
