NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot and killed three Palestinians on Thursday during a raid in the West Bank city of Nablus, medics said.
The Israeli army said soldiers opened fire at three wanted Palestinians fleeing a building where troops had come to arrest them, but could not confirm their condition.
Medics said the Israeli army had told Palestinian security officials that three were killed in the raid.
The Israeli army said its troops arrested 14 suspected militants in overnight raids in the West Bank, territory Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East War that Palestinians seek for a state.
Israel has stepped up its raids of militant hideouts in Palestinian cities since a December 5 suicide bombing that killed five people at a shopping mall in central Israel.
