WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Israeli troops besieged a building in the flashpoint city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, killing 10 Palestinians, including at least three gunmen and three civilians, and wounding over 100 others
NABLUS, West Bank, Feb 22 - Israeli troops killed 11 Palestinians, including at least four gunmen and four civilians, and wounded over 100 others during a raid on a flashpoint city in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, witnesses, militant groups and medical officials said.
The Israeli military confirmed the operation in Nablus, saying troops shot back after coming under fire while trying to detain militants suspected of planning imminent attacks. There were no Israeli casualties, an army statement said. Palestinian militant faction Islamic Jihad said two of its Nablus commanders had been encircled in a house by Israeli troops, triggering a clash that drew in other gunmen. Explosions sounded and local youths pelted armoured troop transports with rocks.
Palestinian sources said the two Islamic Jihad commanders were killed along with another gunman. The fatalities also included at four civilians, among them a 72-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy. The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 66-year-old man who suffered from gas inhalation during the raid died in hospital later on Wednesday. Medical officials said more than 100 Palestinians were wounded.
