Israeli security forces killed three Palestinians during a raid in the West Bank early on Monday, the Palestinian health ministry said, in what Army Radio described as a large-scale operation against militants.

No Israeli troops were hurt in the operation, which took place in Jenin and Nablus. A bomb manufacturing lab was discovered with assembled explosive devices. Arms were also seized during the raids, which included several arrests.
The Israeli military did not immediately release details. Army Radio said hundreds of soldiers took part in the pre-dawn raid and that the three Palestinians killed were terrorists who had exchanged fire with the forces.
No armed group immediately claimed the men killed in the Balata refugee camp in the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank, an area where Israeli forces have mounted frequent raids over the past year.
Senior Palestinian official Hussein al-Sheikh condemned the Israeli raid.
