Israeli forces kill 4 Palestinians in West Bank: ministry
Jenin, Palestinian Territories – AFP
Israeli forces killed four Palestinians in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, the Palestinian health ministry reported.
The ministry did not provide further details on the fatalities, while the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said they were killed in a drone strike on the Old City.
Around 270 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire and settler attacks in the West Bank, Palestinian officials say, as violence has escalated in the territory since Israel began its war against people of Gaza on October 7.
An AFP photographer saw Israeli military vehicles entering Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday and a drone flying above.
Israeli forces “continue to storm Jenin camp and ambulance crews are prevented from entering to deal with medical cases without prior coordination,” the Red Crescent said in a statement.
There was no immediate comment on the killings from the Israeli military, which has occupied the West Bank since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.
Jenin city and its refugee camp have seen repeated Israeli raids, with dozens killed this year including children.
The death toll in the West Bank now exceeds the 235, most of them Palestinians, killed last year.
