Israeli forces assassinated, on Monday evening, three Palestinian young men in the Iktaba suburb, northeast of Tulkarem in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank, and abducted two others, one of whom was injured.
Israeli special forces invaded the Iktaba suburb northeast of the city, followed by a large army force, and surrounded a house on Al-Qaisi Mosque Street.
Media reports said that the soldiers opened fire at a parked vehicle in the vicinity, and executed three Palestinian young men on the street.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that three slain young men identified as Youssef Ali Al-Khouli, 22, Ahed Salman Musa, 23, and Tariq Amjad Shaheen, 24, arrived at the Tulkarem Governmental Hospital.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), soldiers threatened ambulance crews at gunpoint, forcing them to stay away from the scene.
Ambulance crews were not able to reach the injured young men until the invading army withdrew, too late to save them.
Sources added that army ran over the body of one of the slain young men with a military vehicle while they were withdrawing from the suburb.
Occupation forces also abducted two other young men identified as Iyad Omar Amara, 38, and Mahmoud Mutie Salit.
Salit was injured prior to the abduction; the nature and severity of his wounds was not known at the time of writing this report.
Later, large crowds of Palestinian young men marched the streets to reject the killing of the young men.
Local national and Islamic factions called for a comprehensive strike to grieve the loss of the three young men.
