Four people were killed in the Jenin area and four in Tubas district, southeast of the city, when Israeli forces carried out early morning raids, the Palestinian Red Crescent and the health ministry in Ramallah said.
The military said an Israeli Air Force drone hit groups of gunmen in two separate strikes in Jenin as troops carried out a counterterrorism operation.
According to a military source, the first strike hit two gunmen on a motorcycle who were shooting at troops. The second strike targeted another cell that opened fire at forces.
“Four martyrs and three wounded, one of whom is very critical, due to the occupation’s shelling of two vehicles in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin,” the Red Crescent said in a statement.
Separately, Israeli Border Police troops killed four Palestinian gunmen and wounded 10 others during an overnight operation. According to police, the incident took place in the West Bank city of Jenin. However, Palestinians said they occurred in the town of Aqabah, near Tubas. READ MORE
