JENIN: Israeli troops on Tuesday killed six Palestinians in Jenin including an alleged militant accused of killing two Israelis, the latest deadly raid in a surge of violence in the occupied West Bank.
Witnesses said Israeli troops entered the camp and surrounded a house as a group of militants fought back, with the army reporting"explosive devices and blocks" were hurled at their soldiers.The Jenin Brigade, a militant group in the camp, said on one of their Telegram channels that their gunmen fought"violent clashes" with Israeli forces.
After fighting stopped, an AFP journalist who entered the wreckage of the house where Khroushah had been saw blackened walls riddled with bullet holes and entire walls blasted down. The Palestinian presidency spokesman Abu Rudeineh said Israel was"responsible for this dangerous escalation which threatens to inflame the situation and destroy all efforts aimed at restoring stability".
Hamas condemned the killing of the six Palestinians, which it said would only make Palestinians"more determined to confront the Israeli occupation and Israeli settler militias". The killing of the two settlers - brothers Yagel Yaniv, 20, and Hallel Yaniv, 22 - in Huwara took place hours after the Jordan summit.
