Three Palestinians were killed and 10 others injured when Israeli forces carried out a raid on Friday in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

According to Palestinian news agency Wafa, the three men were killed when the Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle in which they were traveling.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement; "Three Palestinians were martyred and eight people were injured by the bullets of Israeli soldiers in the city of Jenin."

It was added that Israeli soldiers raided Jenin and opened fire on a vehicle containing four Palestinians.

Following the incident, clashes broke out between Israeli soldiers and dozens of Palestinians. Israeli soldiers intervened using live ammunition and tear gas grenades.

Israeli forces have been ramping up raids in and around the occupied West Bank's Jenin refugee camp, arresting some Palestinians and also evacuating them from their homes.
