LONDON: Israeli forces injured two Palestinian men and killed two minors when they opened fire in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Monday afternoon.
Dr. Wissam Bakr, the director of Jenin’s Government Hospital, and the Ramallah-based Ministry of Health confirmed that Islam Abdul-Aziz Nouh Majarmeh and Mohammad Sari Alawneh, both 14 years old, were killed by Israeli gunfire. Two young men were also seriously wounded after being shot in the abdomen, and have been admitted to surgery, Bakr added.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that a live bullet in the abdomen injured another 22-year-old man, and a 12-year-old girl was hurt in her hand while fleeing Israeli soldiers in the Jenin camp. Both were transferred to the hospital, the Wafa news agency reported.
Several Palestinians were arrested and taken to a military barracks inside the Jenin refugee camp, where Israeli forces have been conducting an ongoing military campaign since January.
Majarmeh and two injured individuals were part of a group of residents who entered the camp to inspect their homes and retrieve some of their belongings when Israeli soldiers shot at them near Al-Bishr neighborhood, according to Wafa.
From October 2023 to July this year, at least 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in various towns in the West Bank.
