Three Palestinians were killed by the Israeli forces near a
village close to the West Bank city of Jenin on Thursday, according to the
Palestinian Health Ministry.
According to Palestinian radio, Israeli forces raided the
village near the West Bank city and the village of Jaba, south of Jenin. There
was an exchange of fire and one person was also arrested.
Palestinian Health Ministry did not reveal further details
about the dead people. Itamar Ben-Givr, the Minister of National Security of
Israel, confirmed the death of three people during the Israeli raid. He said it
was the “elimination of those who opened fire on our fighters.” However, the
Israeli military did not comment on the incident.
According to Hamas radio, Israeli forces targeted a group
called the ‘Jaba Brigade’ and killed its leader. However, it did not provide
further details.
Earlier, Israeli forces raided a refugee camp in Jenin and
killed six Palestinians, including the Hamas gunman. According to the
Palestinian health ministry, a 14-year-old boy had died of his wounds due to
the Israeli raid.
In recent months, Israeli forces have conducted several
raids across the West Bank. Reportedly, Israeli forces killed more than 200
Palestinians, including fighters and civilians.
Recently, Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces fired
tear gas at mourners at the Nablus funeral. Thousands of people attended the
funeral of one of the six Palestinian men killed in an Israeli raid.
On Tuesday, the Israeli army reportedly launched an attack
on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank, killing six men
and injuring 26 others. It further increased the tension between Palestine and
Israel.
An Israeli raid in January this year in Jenin also killed 10
Palestinians. In February, a raid in Jericho also killed five Palestinians. A
raid in Nablus killed 11 people.
