Six Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids in the West Bank
Six Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli army incursions into the occupied West Bank on Friday, the Palestinian Authority Health Ministry said. Three of these Palestinians, aged between 17 and 26, were killed in Jenin, a stronghold of Palestinian armed groups in the northern West Bank, where two other Palestinians were fatally wounded by Israeli army gunfire on Thursday evening, the ministry said.
According to the official Palestinian agency Wafa, two of the Palestinians killed on Friday were killed in a drone strike on a house in Jenin refugee camp.
According to the Palestinian ministry and the Wafa agency, two Palestinians, aged 33 and 36, were killed in an Israeli army incursion into the al-Fawwar refugee camp in the Hebron area of the southern West Bank.
According to the same sources, the Israeli army also carried out a raid in the Qalandiya refugee camp north of Jerusalem, in which a 19-year-old Palestinian was killed. No immediate comment on these attacks could be obtained from the Israeli army. In addition, a Palestinian died on Friday after being injured in an Israeli fire on Wednesday in the Nablus region of the northern West Bank, the ministry said.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 140 Palestinians have been killed by fire from Israeli soldiers or settlers in the West Bank since October 7. And since then, around 1,900 Palestinians have been arrested in the West Bank by Israeli security services, according to the Prisoners’ Club, an association that advocates for prisoners’ rights.
