STORYLINE:
Three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in the northern West Bank overnight on Wednesday, Palestinian health officials said.
The Ramallah-based health ministry said that the three men, all under the age of 30, were killed by Israeli bullets in the flashpoint city of Tulkarem, though the circumstances of the shootings were uncertain.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Israeli army raided several Palestinian cities in the Wet Bank overnight.
Faisal Salama , the Coordinator of the Palestinian factions in Tulkarem, said the Israeli army raid on a money exchange shop in the West Bank was "a piracy".
"Today, Tulkarem said goodbye to three young men who were killed in cold blood. Young people in Nablus, Tulkarem and Jenin meet in the streets and sit in cafes, and this is a normal thing . The young men used to sit in a cafe and they do not carry weapons, and they are not wanted by the occupation forces or outlaws, as they were killed," Salama added.
Since October 7, violence has flared in the occupied territory, with stepped-up Israeli raids into Palestinian cities and towns often turning deadly.
The shootings pushed the Palestinian death toll in the territory since October 7 to just over 500.
Also overnight, Israeli police said they shot and killed an attacker, who they identified as a militant, after he tried to stab an officer in East Jerusalem. Police said officers had begun inspecting the man when he pulled out a knife and charged at them. Officers then shot the man dead. The identity of the attacker was unclear.
The attack was the latest to strike Israeli cities and towns since the war against Hamas broke out. Palestinians have during that time carried out a number of attacks against Israelis, some of them deadly.
