An Israeli police spokesperson said that security forces killed three Palestinian gunmen in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.
According to a joint statement by the Israeli police and army, the three men were shot after emerging from a cave near Jenin. The statement claimed that the men had been planning attacks in the area of the Jenin refugee camp.

The statement also noted that the Israeli army carried out an airstrike shortly afterward to destroy the cave.
Israel launched a large-scale military operation in January in the Jenin refugee camp, a longtime stronghold for armed factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The operation has caused widespread destruction in the area. — (Agencies)
