Israel says troops targeted and killed a Hamas operative responsible for gunning down two Israeli brothers last month. At least five other Palestinian men were also killed and more than 20 wounded, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
JENIN — Israeli forces stormed into a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, killing at least six Palestinians in the latest in a series of deadly military raids carried out in broad daylight.
Mohammad Shtayyeh, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, called the raid “a massacre” and appealed to the Biden administration to do more to stop Israeli incursions into Palestinian cities.“Our brave warriors operated surgically in the heart of the murderers’ den,” he said. “I praise them and send recovery wishes to the wounded from among our forces. As I say again and again, time and time again: Whoever hurts us — his blood is on his head.
Barely months in, 2023 has already seen some of the worst violence in the West Bank, Israel and Jerusalem in two decades. More than 60 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops so far — around half of them militants, according to a tally by the Associated Press. Palestinian attackers have killed 14 Israelis and foreigners, according to the news agency’s records.
The Israeli military said the target of Tuesday's raid was Abdul Fattah Kharushah, a 49-year-old fighter from the Hamas militant group. He is suspected of having killed Hillel Yaniv, 21, and his younger brother Yigal, 19, in an ambush as they drove through the town of Hawara on Feb. 26. Hours before the Jenin raid, an Israeli settler armed with an axe attacked a Palestinian family in their car as they pulled out of a supermarket on Hawara’s main strip.
