Three Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli occupation forces in the northern West Bank town of Tulkarim.
Named as Bilal Amsha, Ghanim Ghanim and Aiman Bagharna by Palestinian security sources, the shootings occurred when 20 Israeli armoured vehicles continued raiding various towns and villages.
The three men, all in their late twenties, are believed to have been members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - an offshoot of Palestinian President Yasir Arafat's Fatah movement.
Locals said occupation forces began shooting as soon as they entered the town and made no attempt at making a single arrest.
A medic said one of the victims had been shot at very close range in the head and stomach.
Their deaths bring the number of Palestinians killed in three days to 13 - only half are believed to have been connected to any resistance movement.
The youngest victim was just 13 years old.
Stone-thrower shot
A 16-year-old Palestinian teenager was also killed by Israeli troops in Gaza.
