At least two Israeli soldiers have been injured in a shooting operation in the occupied territories near the Dead Sea.

A group of gunmen opened fire in Israel’s commercial capital Aviv on the boundary with Jaffa on Tuesday evening.

Palestinian resistance factions have hailed as “heroic” the retaliatory shooting operation near the Allenby Bridge which left three Israeli settlers dead.

Palestinian resistance factions say the retaliatory shooting operation in al-Khalil which left three Israeli officers dead is a “natural response” to the crimes committed by the regime against Palestinians.

Over the past months, Israel has ramped up attacks on Palestinian towns and cities.

Israeli forces have demolished the house of Muhammed Kamel al-Jabari, who carried out a shooting operation in the occupied West Bank a few months ago.

Recent shooting operations by Palestinian resistance groups in the West Bank prove how fragile the Israeli military is, a Palestinian media report says.
