Israeli troops on Thursday killed three Palestinian militants wanted in connection with a shooting attack that killed Lucy Dee—a British-Israeli mother and two of her daughters Maya and Rina.

In a rare daytime incursion launched as residents were starting their day, the military said forces entered the heart of the flashpoint city of Nablus and raided an apartment where the men were located. Troops and the suspects exchanged fire and the three men were killed. Israeli shells ripped through the roof of the gunmen’s safe house, leaving nothing but rubble.
