Israeli troops kill three Palestinian gunmen
Israeli soldiers killed three Palestinian gunmen on Friday and wounded two other people in confrontations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, medics and witnesses said. An army spokeswoman said two Islamic Jihad gunmen near the West Bank town of Bethlehem were shot and killed when they resisted arrest and shot at troops.
“The Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades described the men as engineers, the term it uses for bomb-makers.”
In Gaza, the spokesman said, troops shot at two Palestinians in a no-go area by a security fence. Palestinian medics said they had found the body of a gunman in Gaza from the Islamic Jihad group, north of the Karni commercial crossing between the coastal strip and Israel. Two other Palestinians were wounded, they said.

Three Palestinian militants from the armed wing of the governing Hamas Islamist group died in the West Bank city of Jenin on Friday while they were preparing a bomb, local security officials said. The Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades described the men as engineers, the term it uses for bomb-makers.
