3 Palestinians martyred in Israel raids on Nablus (+VIDEO)

“The faces of two of the martyrs have been deformed completely due to the heavy fire they were hit with, making it difficult to identify them,” the ministry said, Aljazeera reported.

The Israeli regime's army and intelligence service claimed in a statement that two of the men killed were behind a shooting on April 7 north of Jericho, in which two settler sisters died when gunmen opened fire on their vehicle. 

In the Old City of Nablus, the Palestinian Red Crescent said four people were transferred to hospital and at least 150 people suffered tear gas inhalation, including schoolchildren, during the Israeli raid.

Political factions in Nablus announced a general strike in the city on Thursday in response to the attack.
