Israeli undercover forces dressed as women and medics storm West Bank hospital, kill 3

Israeli forces disguised as civilian women and medical workers stormed a hospital on Tuesday in the occupied West Bank, killing three Palestinians in a dramatic raid that underscored how deadly violence has spilled into the territory from the war in Gaza.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli forces opened fire inside the wards of the Ibn Sina Hospital in the town of Jenin.
The ministry condemned the raid and called on the international community to pressure Israel’s military to halt such operations in hospitals.
A hospital spokesperson said there was no exchange of fire, indicating that it was a targeted killing.
The military said Palestinians were using the hospital as a hideout, without providing evidence.
It alleged that one of those targeted in the raid had transferred weapons and ammunition to others for a planned attack, purportedly inspired by the Hamas assault on southern Israel on Oct.7 that triggered the war in Gaza.
Footage said to be security camera video from the hospital that circulated on social media showed about a dozen undercover forces, most of them armed, dressed as women with headscarves or hospital staff in scrubs or white doctor’s coats.
One in a surgical mask carried a rifle in one arm and a folded wheelchair in the other.
The forces were seen patting down one man who kneeled against a wall, his arms raised.
