RAMALLAH, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Three Palestinians were killed and 10 others injured on Wednesday during clashes with Israeli soldiers in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, Palestinian medics and eyewitnesses have said.
Of the injured, two were in critical condition, said the Palestinian Ministry of Health in a press statement.
Palestinian eyewitnesses said that Israeli forces, backed by armored vehicles, stormed the city and its refugee camp amid the intensive fire of live ammunition and tear gas canisters in all directions.
The Israeli soldiers surrounded the home of Fathi Hazem, father of Raed Hazem, who was killed after he carried out a shooting attack in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv in April, according to the eyewitnesses.
Fierce clashes broke out in the city between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants. The soldiers fired missiles at Hazem's house and traded fire with the militants.
An Israeli army spokesman said that an Israeli army force was carrying out regular military activity in the city of Jenin to demolish the house of Hazem.
Over the past few months, the West Bank has witnessed growing tension between the Israeli army and the Palestinians.
More than 90 Palestinians have been killed since early January by Israeli soldiers, including children and women, according to official Palestinian statistics.
Meanwhile, 18 Israelis have been killed since March in a series of attacks carried out by Palestinians in Israel.
In response, Israel carried out a campaign of arrests focused on the cities of Nablus and Jenin in the northern West Bank. Israel said the campaign targets Palestinians involved in carrying out attacks against Israel. ■
