Israeli troops have killed three Palestinians, including a minor, and wounded at least 29 others during a massive gun battle with militants in the streets of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, officials said.

The fighting was the latest in more than a year of near-daily violence that has wracked the West Bank.
