JERUSALEM, 03 March 2022, (TON): The Palestinian health ministry said “three Palestinians were killed Tuesday by Israeli forces in two separate incidents in the occupied West Bank.”

The ministry said late in the afternoon “Ammar Shafiq Abu Afifa was killed by Israeli occupation forces shooting at him near the town of Beit Fajar.”

The Israeli army did not immediately comment, when asked by reports.

Afifa was a resident of the Al-Aroub refugee camp north of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Israeli border police and Palestinian health authorities said “Separately, Israeli forces killed two Palestinians before dawn on Tuesday after coming under fire during an arrest raid in the northern West Bank.”

Israeli border police said officers and undercover police entered the Jenin refugee camp to arrest a suspect “wanted for terrorist activity.”

Police said “after the arrest of the suspect, as the forces left the house, heavy fire was opened from several directions, and undercover forces operating at the scene responded with live fire.”
