Israeli forces shot dead three Palestinians at a West Bank hospital, the Palestinian health ministry said, while the army said the three belonged to a Hamas “terrorist cell”, AFP reports.

“This morning three young men were martyred by the bullets of the occupation (Israel) forces who stormed the Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin and shot them,” the health ministry in Ramallah said. The army said troops “neutralised” the men, who were hiding in the hospital.
