Israeli forces kill 3 Palestinians, injure dozens in Jenin shootout

Israeli special forces have killed at least three Palestinians and wounded over two dozen others during heavy clashes that broke out between resistance fighters and the regime’s troops after the latter carried out a raid in the occupied northern West Bank city of Jenin.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement on Monday that at least 45 Palestinians were wounded with live ammunition and several were listed in serious and critical condition, official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

The ministry identified the Palestinian victims as Khaled Asa’sah, 21, Ahmad Saqer, 15, and Qassim Abu Siryie, 29.

According to local sources, violent clashes erupted between Israeli forces and Palestinian gunmen in the Jenin refugee camp and the al-Jabriyat neighborhood, with resistance fighters detonating homemade explosives as Israeli military vehicles passed by.

Several vehicles were damaged and set on fire as a result.

Footage shared by Palestinian media outlets showed Israeli army vehicles engulfed in smoke after apparently being hit by homemade explosive devices.
