Three Palestinian killed during Zionist raid in Jenin

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Jun. 18 (YPA) – Israeli occupation forces (IOF) assassinated three Palestinian youths during a military raid into Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank in the early morning hours of Friday.

The three youths, identified as Yousef Salah, 23, Bara Lahlouh, 24, and Laith Abu Srour, 24, were killed when about 30 Israeli military vehicles raided Jenin at 2am local time, surrounded a vehicle in al-Marah area in the east of the city, and opened heavy fire at the youths sitting inside.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that eight more people were moderately injured during the same raid.

Local sources reported that the three youths opened fire at the forces in response to the military raid, and the forces responded and killed the three while sitting in the car.

The West Bank city of Jenin has been the centre of Israeli aggressions and military operations since the few past months, as 26 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the start of this year in Jenin alone, including Al Jazeera’s veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
