ALBAWABA - An Israeli airstrike targeted Al-Ansar Mosque in the West Bank city of Jenin, where two Palestinians have been killed according to local media reports.
The director of the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRC) in Jenin Mahmoud Al-Saadi said that they have yet to identify one of the two young men who were killed in the airstrike.
One of the two victims was identified as Mohammad Hussein Abdel-Hafiz. The other victim is yet to be identified due to the fact that his body was disfigured as a result of the Israeli aerial attack, WAFA reported.
Additionally, at least three other Palestinians were injured severely sustaining shrapnel wounds, as Israel continues to halt down on Jenin, despite the ongoing aggression on Gaza.
During an Israeli morning raid today, the Ministry of Health reported that one Palestinian had been shot dead by Israeli fire, while three others were injured by live ammunition in the Askar Refugee Camp in the West Bank city of Nablus.
The Ministry of Health report confirmed that Malik Jameel Sharqawi, 26, was killed from a gunshot wound to the heart fired by the Israeli army during their invasion of the camp.
According to local sources, intense confrontations erupted after Israeli occupation forces raided the camp, resulting in the murder of Sharqawi and the injury of three other individuals, whose condition was described as stable.
The strike came as Israel continued its bombardment of Gaza overnight after military officials pledged to step up air raids on the enclave to minimize risks to Israeli troops ahead of an expected ground offensive, AlJazeera reported.
At least 55 Palestinians were killed in air strikes on the enclave overnight, the Hamas government said.
