Israeli military kills Palestinian in raid on village near Jenin

One man was killed and another injured when Israeli forces raided the village of Kufr Dan in the occupied West Bank, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reports.

Clashes erupted between Palestinian fighters and Israeli troops, Wafa said, adding that an Israeli army helicopter was used in the operation. The clashes took place after a special force snuck into the village using a civilian truck and surrounded a house, which they then attacked.

Palestinian medical sources have said that Ahmad Samoudi was shot in the village of Kufr Dan, in the occupied West Bank, and left to bleed to death as Israeli forces stopped an ambulance from reaching him.


Three other Palestinians were shot and injured; two are in critical condition and one was moderately wounded, medics said.

Samoudi, from the town of Yamoun, west of Jenin, is the brother of a Palestinian child – Mahmoud Samoudi – who was killed by Israeli soldiers in 2022, the sources said.
