Palestinians killed in Israeli raid
Israeli security forces shoot dead at least three Palestinians during a raid to arrest a Hamas member in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank
At least three Palestinians have been killed and 11 others injured in confrontations with Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials and medics said. The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
The son of a former Hamas official was among the dead on Saturday.
Hamza Abu Al-Haija, 23, was a Hamas activist whose father had been sentenced to nine life sentences in an Israeli jail.
Palestinian officials said that the military surrounded the house of Abu Al-Haija in the Jenin refugee camp overnight and ordered him outside. When he refused to come out, the army stormed the building and killed him.
Officials said two young Palestinian men died in the subsequent fighting. Palestinian factions declared a day of mourning and strike in Jenin.
Israel periodically raids parts of the West Bank to arrest those suspected of involvement in violence against Israel.
The clashes in the northern West Bank area of Jenin erupted three days after Israeli troops killed a Palestinian youth elsewhere in the West Bank.
Palestinian officials said before Saturday's incident that Israeli forces had killed 57 Palestinians and injured almost 900 since the resumption of peace talks last July.
The US-brokered negotiations have shown little progress as an April deadline set by US Secretary of State John Kerry looms.
The talks aim to achieve Palestinian statehood alongside Israel in territory Israel captured in a 1967 war.
