On Tuesday evening, Israeli soldiers killed three Palestinians and injured at least thirty in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank governorate of Jenin.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed three deaths and more than thirty injuries and added that the soldiers also attacked medics and ambulances while trying to reach the wounded.

The Health Ministry officially identified the slain Palestinians as Mahmoud Ali Nafe’ Saadi, 23, Mahmoud Khaled Ar’arawi, 24, and Rafat Omar Khamaisa, 22.

It also said that the soldiers injured at least thirty Palestinians, including a few who suffered serious wounds.

Eyewitnesses said more than thirty undercover Israeli soldiers infiltrated the refugee camp and fired a barrage of live rounds at the Palestinians, forcing them to leave the streets before surrounding two homes and exchanging fire with Palestinian fighters.

Media sources said the soldiers fired several rockets at the two homes where Palestinian resistance fighters are believed to be hiding.

They added that dozens of Palestinians protested the invasion and hurled stones at them while the soldiers fired a barrage of live fire.

Also, an Israeli military drone fired a missile at an electricity tower, causing a power blackout in the refugee camp and some areas in Jenin city.

In addition, the soldiers attacked the minaret of the Grand Mosque in Jenin refugee camp with many rounds of live ammunition.

Palestinian resistance fighters exchanged fire with the invading soldiers in Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp.

During the invasion, the soldiers abducted Ahmad Abdul-Karim Mansour and Hussein Ahmad Zidan, 65, but released Zidan later when he suffered a heart attack before Palestinian medics rushed him to Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital in Jenin. The soldiers also released Mansour a few hours later before the army withdrew.

The Israeli invasion caused excessive damage to many cars, shops, and buildings in Jenin and its refugee camp.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched in Jenin and its refugee camp, chanting against the escalating Israeli violations and calling for national unity and resistance until liberation and independence.

Three Palestinians Killed, 30 Wounded in Israeli Army Raid in Jenin

Clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian militants erupted as the IDF surrounded a house in the refugee camp that Palestinians say belongs to a member of a military wing of Fatah who had previously served time in an Israeli prison

Three Palestinians were killed and at least 30 are wounded, including one in a critical condition, after the Israeli army launched an airstrike on the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin on Tuesday, according to the Israeli army and Palestinian Health Ministry.

As the Israeli forces made their way out of the refugee camp, an explosive device detonated near one of the army's vehicles, causing it considerable damage. The vehicle is currently awaiting rescue which requires the military's engineering tools.

Clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian militants erupted in the evening hours of Tuesday as the IDF surrounded a house in the refugee camp that Palestinians say belongs to Mohammed Abu Albahaa, a member of a military wing of Fatah who had previously served time in an Israeli prison.

The Associated Press reported that Motasem Abu Hasan, a resident who works at the Freedom Theater in Jenin, a cultural center in the camp, said that he saw drones fire toward a mosque and heard strikes from drones in other locations. According to Hasan, the Israeli forces entered the camp while he was at the theater which was hosting performances: “It was incredibly difficult on us, you had all elderly people and small children cramming together, all terrified.”

After the Israeli military withdrew, dozens of gunmen and residents poured into the streets to protest against the Palestinian Authority and its failure to protect them, according to footage shared by residents.
"You infidel! You heretic!" they screamed as they changed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' name.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that a Palestinian man was shot dead and nine people were wounded by Israeli army gunfire during clases at the Gaza border. According to the ministry, 25-year-old Yousef Raduan was killed when he was shot in the head.

Dozens of people participated in clashes that erupted at two different locations at the Gaza border on Tuesday – near Gaza City and Khan Younis – using arson balloons and attempting to cross the border into Israel.

In July, the Israeli army struck Jenin from the air with drones, followed by a ground incursion in which Israeli forces exchanged fire with armed Palestinians, in one of the biggest West Bank raids in 20 years. Twelve Palestinnians were killed while at least 100 others were wounded. One Israeli soldier was lightly wounded from grenade shrapnel and taken to a hospital.
