Eighth person confirmed dead in Israeli assault on Jenin
The death toll from Israel’s military raid on the Jenin refugee camp has risen again, with eight people now confirmed killed, the Wafa news agency reports, citing the Palestine Red Crescent Society.
At least 21 people have also been injured in the raid in the occupied West Bank which began on Tuesday, including two who are in critical condition, according to Wafa. The Israeli military has also detained and fired on ambulance crews trying to treat the injured in Jenin.
A teacher and a doctor, both of whom were on their way to work, as well as a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were among eight people killed on Tuesday – one of the deadliest in Jenin in months.
The Israeli military said it was carrying out a “counterterrorism” operation, but one medic said he witnessed Israeli forces “firing at any moving body in the street”.
