Middle East latest: Officials in West Bank say Israeli raid has killed 3

0
Palestinian officials said that an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank killed at least three people. The Israeli military said its forces had eliminated a Hamas militant on Thursday near the Nur Shams refugee camp who was involved in planning attacks on Israelis. The same day, Israeli police said they have arrested a couple accused of spying on Israeli intelligence sites and collecting information on an Israeli academic on behalf of Iran. The death toll from more than a year of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has passed 43,000, Palestinian officials reported Monday, without distinguishing between civilians and combatants. The war began after Hamas-led militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and abducting 250 others.
