Palestinians Die From Israeli Gunfire

NABLUS, West Bank - Israeli soldiers shot and killed three Palestinians in the West Bank city of Nablus early Saturday, Palestinian hospital sources said.

The Israeli army has been conducting a series of raids in Nablus over the past two weeks aimed at Palestinian militant groups operating in the area.

On Saturday, troops opened fire at a large number of Palestinians throwing stones, an army spokesman said. The spokesman said soldiers confirmed one man had been hit, but were unaware of his condition.

Palestinian witnesses said three men were killed, including one passer-by. Hospital and Red Crescent officials identified the dead as Rohi Hazam Shoman, 25; Amar Arafat, 19; and Amjad al Masri, 15.

1. it's apparently up to four dead now

Israeli occupation soldiers have killed four Palestinians in an ongoing invasion of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

The latest fatality came after Israeli forces opened fire on a group of citizens marching on Saturday at the funeral of three men killed earlier by Israeli fire, Aljazeera reported.

Eyewitnesses say that Mohammed al-Masri, a relative of one of those being buried, was shot in the head and seriously wounded during the funeral procession for his compatriots. He died shortly afterwards from his wounds.

Those attending the funeral said occupation soldiers opened fire without provocation from a distance of 200 metres.
