Israel The Israeli army killed three young Palestinian men during a raid in a hospital in the West Bank city of Jenin, Palestinian and Israeli sources said on Tuesday.
Kamal Abu Al-Rub, acting Governor of Jenin, told Xinhua that Israeli special forces disguised in civilian clothing entered Ibn Sina Hospital in the city and "assassinated" three young men.
"This is a new crime committed by the occupation in violation of all charters and customs that protect hospitals," he added.
The Israeli army Spokesperson Avichai Adraee said in a statement on the social media platform X that the forces "killed an armed cell of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which had hidden inside Ibn Sina Hospital in the city of Jenin, accusing it of planning to carry out a sabotage operation."
The West Bank has witnessed escalating tension since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, as a result of the ongoing Israeli incursions into various cities, towns and camps in the West Bank.
