Undercover Israeli Forces Kill Three Palestinians in West Bank Raid
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed three Palestinians
during a predawn undercover raid on Wednesday. The Israelis were dressed
to look like Palestinians. The dead included two military intelligence
officers with the Palestinian Authority. Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas condemned what he called a "dangerous Israeli escalation." Israeli
forces also raided the headquarters of the Palestinian Union of Health
Workers Committee on Wednesday and ordered the group's Ramallah office
to remain closed for six months. Amnesty International warned Israel's
action could have "catastrophic consequences" for Palestinians needing
healthcare.
