NABLUS, West Bank – Palestinian officials say Israeli troops have killed three activists of the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Anan Attireh, deputy governor of the West Bank's Nablus district, says Israeli forces opened fire while storming the homes of the men in the city of Nablus.
The Israeli military declined immediate comment.
Saturday's operation in Nablus' old city came two days after Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli in a West Bank ambush.
The West Bank has been relatively calm, and army raids against Fatah activists are unusual. Abbas and Israel have instead focused on a common foe, the Islamic militant group Hamas.
