Undercover Border Police forces encountered and killed three armed Palestinian militants in the West Bank city of Qalqilyah overnight Thursday, Israel Radio reported.

According to the report, the troops spotted the three militants in the city's center.

In the incident, the Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigades leader in the city, Aatef Sha'aban was moderately injured and evacuated by a Red Crescent ambulance.

One of those killed was senior Al Aqsa Brigades activist Abed Rahman Nazal. The two other men were reportedly associated with the Fatah movement.

In a separate incident early on Thursday, Israel Defense Forces troops encountered and killed three armed Tanzim activists in the West Bank city of Tul Karm.

Also on Thursday, the IDF pulled out of northern parts of the Gaza Strip which it entered following several rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli settlements and on communities and towns in the western Negev.

A total of 17 Palestinians - among them at least seven armed militants - were killed in the three-day raid and some 40 Palestinians were wounded.

Both of their 3 man teams yesterday and today have had al aqsa leaders in them. Their leadership is clearly being rounded up by the IDF.

This is sweet!
