Kfar Dan, Palestinian Territories – AFP
The Palestinian health ministry and Red Crescent said six Palestinian men were killed Tuesday during an Israeli army raid in the northern occupied West Bank village of Kfar Dan.
The men aged between 21 and 32 were “shot by the occupation forces in the town of Kafr Dan, Jenin district”, the Palestinian health ministry in Ramallah said in a statement.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said it had transported six dead people from Kafr Dan, at least three of them from a “targeted house”.
The West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has experienced a surge in violence for more than a year, but especially since Israel’s current war on Hamas in Gaza began on October 7.
At least 542 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli troops or settlers since the Gaza war broke out, according to Palestinian officials.
