Occupation forces kill three Palestinians

Three Palestinians have been killed by the  Israeli occupation forces in Qalandiya refugee camp in the West Bank, according to BBC.

Nineteen Palestinians were wounded in the confrontation, Palestinian medical sources said.

Palestinian medics said all those killed were hit by live gunfire.

Palestinian sources named the dead as Rubeen Abed Fares, 30; Yunis Jahjouh, 22; and Jihad Aslan, 20. They said Fares and Jahjouh were both shot in the chest, and that Aslan had died of brain damage.

Palestinians cancelled a session of peace talks with “Israel” which were due to take place on Monday, in response to the killings, unnamed Palestinian sources said.

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah condemned the killings, saying “such a crime proves the need for an urgent and effective international protection for our people”.
