Israeli troops killed three Palestinians wanted in connection with a deadly attack against Israelis, the Israeli military said Thursday.
The military said the men were behind an attack last month on a car near a Jewish West Bank settlement that killed a British-Israeli mother and two of her daughters.
The military said it entered the heart of the flashpoint city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank early Thursday, and in a fierce gunbattle killed three suspects, two of whom it alleged were militants affiliated with Hamas. It identified the men as Hassan Katnani, Moaz Masri and Ibrahim Hura.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said three people were killed.
