At least four people have been killed in two Israeli air strikes on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, according to media reporters and the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Reporting from Jenin, media’s Nida Ibrahim said Tuesday morning’s strikes came after Israeli forces raided the area on Monday afternoon, targeting a money exchange shop and claiming it was linked to financing the Hamas movement that governs Gaza.
Ibrahim reported that four Palestinians were killed in Aqqaba, near Tubas, where an Israeli raid prompted an armed confrontation.
“According to local sources, the Palestinians discovered an undercover Israeli unit that was surrounding one of the homes, leading to armed confrontations. Then, Israeli forces used force against Palestinians, some of them doing nothing, not participating,” she said.
media spoke to Mohaidden Abu Sbaih, a witness to one of the Israeli air attacks in Jenin, who said Israeli bulldozers showed up in the area, as warplanes appeared overhead.
Within five minutes, he said, the Israeli aircraft struck a building in the neighbourhood.
After the strike, community members located the remains of four people killed in the attack, he added.
