Local Editor

Three Palestinians were martyred in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank early Saturday after "Israeli" soldiers launched an operation against the camp.
Medical and security sources said two of the fatalities were resistance fighters and the third was a civilian. They said 14 Palestinians were also wounded, and two are in critical condition.

The "Israeli" army confirmed the incident, but said a total of four Palestinians were killed during the incident.

The Palestinian sources said "Israeli" soldiers stormed the camp in the northern West Bank city to arrest Hamza Abu Alheja, 20, a member of the military wing of Hamas, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades.

Fire was exchanged, and "other gunmen gathered around the house" to help Alheja, including Mohammad Abu Zena, 19, who was killed along with Alheja, the medical and security sources said.
A civilian named as Yazan Jabarin was also martyred during the fighting, the Palestinians said.

The "Israeli" military claimed its forces had been attempting to arrest Alheja, who was wanted for "shooting and bombing attacks as well as planning future attacks".
