JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli army has raided the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, leading to a gunbattle that killed at least three Palestinians. Israeli military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss events still unfolding, say the army had entered Jenin to arrest suspects involved in the killing of two Israeli brothers in the northern West Bank town of Hawara last week. The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 26-year-old man was killed. Tuesday’s raid was the latest in a string of deadly arrest operations by the Israeli military in the northern West Bank, as violence and deaths in the occupied territory surge to the highest levels seen in years.
