A funeral for those killed in an overnight Israeli raid in Nablus in the West Bank on Tuesday. NABLUS, West Bank—Israeli forces said they killed five Palestinians in Nablus during a raid on a militant hideout, as violence in the West Bank hits its bloodiest year in more than a decade. Israeli security forces have so far this year killed at least 111 West Bank Palestinians, including five women and at least 24 minors, more than in any other year since 2006, according to an analysis by Israeli human rights group B’Tselem and The Wall Street Journal. In 2006, 134 Palestinians were killed. It was the year after the end of a bloody uprising known as the Second Intifada, during which over 5,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis were killed.

Tamer Kilani, a leader in a group known as the "Den of Lions" in the city of Nablus, where clashes between Palestinian militants and Israeli security forces have been occurring almost daily, was killed when a bomb placed on a motorcycle parked nearby was detonated, according to the militant group. Sunday's violence follows months of tension that has deepened since Israeli forces began a crackdown in the West Bank in March in response to a series of attacks by Palestinians in Israel.

"The strike is in solidarity with Shuafat refugee camp and how it is being dealt with," said Jerusalem resident Khaled Alqam.
