Palestinian Officials: Israeli Forces Killed 7 Palestinians in the West Bank

Paramedics and local sources reported that Israeli forces killed six Palestinians, including two minors and at least one armed individual, in the West Bank late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Five of the fatalities occurred in the city of Jenin, where the Israeli army stated they conducted a raid to arrest a Palestinian suspected of involvement in an ambush in the West Bank in August. The military has not yet provided details about the events in Jenin, which eyewitnesses described as clashes between gunmen and Israeli forces. The Palestinian news agency (Wafa) reported that Israeli forces entered Jenin "from multiple directions amid gunfire and surrounded the government hospital and the Red Crescent Society headquarters." Palestinian officials indicated that a sixth Palestinian was killed in the village of Yatma near Nablus, while another was killed near a Jewish settlement outside the city of Al-Bireh in the West Bank. There was no immediate comment from Israel regarding these incidents.
