Israeli troops kill three Palestinians in Tubas, Palestinian Territories during overnight raid, sparking surge of violence in West Bank.
Israeli troops killed three Palestinians in an overnight raid in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said on February 27.
The Israeli Army confirmed the deaths, saying all three were Palestinian militants, including a senior commander from the Islamic Jihad group.
The raid was the latest in a surge of violence in the Palestinian territory since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip on October 7.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah said the three men were killed "by Israeli occupation bullets" during clashes in the Faraa refugee camp near the town of Tubas in the northern West Bank.
Video footage posted on social media showed Israeli military vehicles entering Faraa under the cover of darkness.
"Dozens of young men and armed men from the camp confronted the forces before they called for more reinforcements, including bulldozers that dug the camp's streets and struck the water and sewage networks," said Assem Mansour, head of the camp's popular committee.
Only one of the three men killed was a militant, he said, adding that the other two were civilians who died "in their homes and were killed by snipers deployed in the camp".

It wasn't immediately clear how much of the equipment would require approval or how long it would take.
