ARMED Israeli troops dressed as women and medical workers stormed a hospital in the occupied West Bank, killing three suspected Palestinian militants.

Footage of yesterday's raid went viral on social media as deadly violence from the war in Gaza continues to spill over into other territories.

Israel has been accused of "land grab" tactics in Gaza and the West Bank but has been targeting hospitals it claims are used to harbour Hamas terrorists.

The Palestinian health ministry said the Israeli forces opened fire inside the wards of the Ibn Sina Hospital in the town of Jenin.

The video, from security cameras inside, showed about a dozen undercover operatives.

Most were armed and dressed as women with Muslim headscarves or hospital staff in scrubs. Others wore doctors' white coats.
