JAKARTA - Israeli troops shot dead three members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group in an attack on Qabatiya in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, November 19, the armed wing of the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad group said three of its members were killed when they faced Israeli forces storming Qabatiya near the city of Jenin. There has been no immediate comment from Israel.

Violence has escalated in the West Bank since the start of the Hamas-Israeli war in Gaza more than 13 months ago. Hundreds of Palestinians including armed fighters, stone-throwing youths, and civilians were killed in clashes with Israeli security forces.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said the death toll in the West Bank since the Gaza war erupted was 787 people, including 167 children.

They did not differentiate between civilians and combatants in calculating the death toll.

Dozens of Israelis have been killed in Palestinian street attacks over the past year, Israeli authorities claim.
