Israel kills 3 suspected Palestinian militants in northern West Bank
More on yesterday’s report .
[An Nahar] Israeli troops have killed three alleged Paleostinian holy warriors in the northern West Bank, further escalating a wave of violence in which two other people, including a young Paleostinian man believed to have been bumped off by bad boy Jewish settlers, were killed over the weekend.

The Israeli army said it shot the three men near the Jenin refugee camp — the site of a large-scale military operation last month. It said the three men had just exited the camp and were on their way to carry out an attack and that an M-16 rifle was recovered from their vehicle.

The Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", and Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
turban groups condemned the killings, though it was not immediately known if the three men belonged to either organization. Israel identified the leader of the group as Naif Abu Tsuik, 26, saying he was a "leading military operative" from the camp.

The Jenin camp is known as a turban stronghold. Last month, the army carried out a two-day offensive in the camp, killing 12 Paleostinians, including at least eight turbans, and causing widespread damage to the densely populated area. An Israeli soldier also was killed in the fighting.

But the offensive appears to have done little to halt a broader wave of violence that began in early 2022 and has gained momentum since Israel's new hard-line government took office in December. The government is dominated by ultranationalist West Bank settler leaders and other allies with close ties to the settler movement. A growing number of Israeli voices have said their presence in the government has worsened the tense atmosphere by emboldening young turban settlers to attack Paleostinians.

The Israeli news site Ynet reported Sunday that Ronen Bar, head of the Shin Bet internal security agency, recently warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that settler violence was becoming a strategic threat and raising the likelihood of Paleostinian attacks in retaliation. The report drew angry condemnations from leading members of the government.

The report said that Bar issued his warning before a Friday night incident in which armed settlers stormed into a Paleostinian village and killed a 19-year-old man. On Saturday, a Paleostinian gunman shot and killed an Israeli security guard in central Tel Aviv before another guard shot and killed the attacker.

Two Israeli settlers have been arrested in the Friday night shooting of 19-year-old Qusai Matan in the village of Burqa.

The army said the Israeli settlers arrived in the area to herd sheep, leading to festivities between Israelis and Paleostinians from the village. Israeli media reported that one of the suspects in the incident, Elisha Yered, was a former aide to an ultranationalist politician in the "Jewish Power" party, one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's key coalition partners.
