NABLUS, West Bank - Israeli troops killed 10 Palestinians, including at least three gunmen and three civilians, and wounded over 100 others during a raid on a flashpoint city in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, witnesses and medical officials said.
In a briefing with reporters, a senior Israeli military official said the raid lasted around four hours, with troops coming under heavy fire from rooftops and armoured gunmen on motorcycles. “We condemn the occupation’s raid into Nablus and we call for an end to the continued attacks against our people,” said Mr Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
“The resistance in Gaza is monitoring the escalating crimes conducted by the enemy against our people in the occupied West Bank and is running out of patience,” Mr Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Hamas armed wing, said on Telegram.
