Hospital authorities said they broke into the hospital complex and headed to the third floor.

Israeli authorities said the commandos killed three gunmen in the hospital, one of whom they accused of planning an imminent attack.
The dramatic operation in the early hours of the morning was the latest in a series of incidents in the West Bank, which has seen an explosion of violence since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and the subsequent invasion of Gaza by Israel.
Niji Nazzal, the hospital's medical director, told Reuters the three were executed as they slept, shot in the head with silenced pistols in the room where they were being treated.
Hamas claimed one of the dead as a member. The allied faction Islamic Jihad claimed the other two, saying they were brothers. An Israeli military statement said the IJ members had been involved in recent attacks.

Thousands of mourners poured into the streets of the camp during the day as the three men killed in the raid were buried.
