Israeli forces shoot three Palestinians in Nablus

Soldiers shot three stonethrowers during the clashes in the southern part of Nablus during the raid, apparently to arrest wanted militants, they said.

The Israeli army declined immediate comment. A spokeswoman said she was checking the report.

Military sources said two Israeli soldiers were lightly hurt from an explosive device thrown by Palestinians during the raid. They said Palestinian gunmen also opened fire several times at the troops.

The Israeli army regularly raids Nablus, a bastion for militants behind suicide bomb attacks.
