Israeli forces killed Palestinian man, child distributing food in Jenin: Report

The Wafa news agency is reporting that the 17 people killed in Israel’s ongoing raids on Jenin included a Palestinian man and child who were shot while trying to distribute bread to the besieged residents of the city.

The two were killed on Sunday at the entrance to the village of Kafr Dan on the outskirts of the city of Jenin, Wafa reported.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society has posted a video on X showing Israeli forces stopping and searching one of its ambulances in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

“The soldiers entered the vehicle after forcing the crew out and preventing them from staying nearby during the inspection,” the PRCS said.

The incident is the latest in a series of Israeli actions the PRCS said has obstructed the work of medics in the occupied West Bank. These include preventing ambulances from reaching wounded people in areas under attack.
