GAZA, March 22 (KUNA) -- Three Palestinian resistance factions have warned that they will resolutely retaliate against recent Israeli attacks on the West Bank which left three Palestinian civilians dead.

Earlier in the day, Israel launched an air strike at Jenin refugee camp north of the West Bank, leaving three civilians dead and 15 others wounded.
The three Palestinian groups said: "The three Palestinians were killed in heroic legendary, but unequal, clashes with major forces of the occupying army which broke into the Jenin refugee camp at dawn."
