Young Palestinian killed in Israeli drone attack near Jenin

The Wafa news agency is reporting that a young Palestinian man has been killed and another wounded in an Israeli drone attack on the town of Silat al-Harithiya, in the Jenin governorate of the occupied West Bank.

A spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) said its crews took both of the young men to the Al-Hadaf Medical Center in the town of Al-Yamoun.

The latest death takes the toll from Israel’s ongoing operations in the northern parts of the occupied West Bank to 29, Wafa reported. These include 17 killed in the Jenin governorate, five in Tulkarem, four in Tubas and three in Hebron.


Clashes as Israeli forces raid Ramallah, Nablus

The Wafa news agency is reporting Israeli raids on the cites of Ramallah and el-Bireh as well as the nearby towns of Burqa and Silwad in the occupied West Bank.

The agency said there were clashes in the town of Deir Jarir, located east of Ramallah.

Israeli forces also stormed the city of Nablus and the village of Odala, where they clashed with Palestinians and fired live rounds and rubber-coated bullets, the agency reported.

The raids come as Israeli forces continue a deadly and destructive siege on the Jenin refugee camp in the north of the occupied West Bank.
