The Israeli occupation army has killed, overnight and earlier Tuesday, twelve Palestinians in Jenin, Tubas, and Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

In Jenin, the army fired a missile at the eastern neighborhood of the city, killing five Palestinians whose bodies have been severely mutilated.

Wisam Bakr, the director of the Jenin Governmental Hospital, said the severely mutilated corpses of five Palestinians were transferred to the medical facility after the army fired a missile at them in the Eastern Neighborhood, and prevented Palestinian medics from entering the area for several hours.

Bakr added that four of the five slain Palestinians were identified as Omar Ali Mahmoud Abu Obeid, 24, from Jenin, Saifuddin Ali Mahmoud Abu Obeid, 26, from Jenin, Ahmad Husamuddin Kamel Sa’adi, 18, from Jenin, Bilal Ezzeddin Sawafta, 14, from Tubas, and Ameed Rassem Yassin Ghannam, 20, from Tubas, and stated that at least six Palestinians were injured by live fire and shrapnel from live rounds.
