One of the Palestinians killed was suspected of having carried out a
shooting attack against Israeli soldiers, an Israeli security official
said.
The other two were members of the Palestinian Authority security forces who
witnessed the initial exchange of fire.
An Israeli security official told AFP that special forces were in Jenin
seeking "to arrest two terrorists who had carried out a shooting
attack".
"One Palestinian who opened fire on the forces was shot dead," he
said.
The Palestinian health ministry identified him as Jamil Al-Amuri.
According to the Israeli official, after the initial incident, Palestinians
at the scene "opened fire on the Israeli forces," and in an ensuing
exchange, "two additional Palestinians were killed."
Palestinian security officials identified the two as members of the
Palestinian Authority's military intelligence department, Adham Eleiwi and
Taysir Issa.
No Israeli forces were wounded in the incident, the Israeli official told
AFP.
Israeli forces frequently carry out arrest raids in the occupied West Bank. On
May 25, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian during one such raid near Ramallah.
