Several Palestinians killed in an Israeli drone attack in the West Bank
At least two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone attack on the occupied West Bank on the night of Wednesday, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) states that its forces carried out an operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank when a Palestinian group opened fire and threw explosives at them. The group was then attacked with a drone by the IDF, it is stated in a message on X.
The Palestinian Red Crescent states that two Palestinians were killed and several others wounded. The attack is at least the third time Israel has attacked the West Bank with drones or aircraft since the violent war against Hamas began on October 7, writes Reuters.
The refugee camp in Jenin is a stronghold of militant Palestinian groups, and was the scene of a major Israeli military operation earlier this year.
There has been concern that the war in the Gaza Strip will spread to the West Bank.
