PA claims 2 killed, 10 injured in overnight IDF drone strike in West Bank’s Jenin
The Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news agency claims that two people were killed overnight in an Israeli drone strike as part of the IDF’s extended anti-terror operation in the West Bank’s Jenin.
The report names them as Ahmad Jamal Abu Zaina, 27, and teenager Bashar Haytham Abu Zaid.
Ten others were injured, at least three of them seriously, as the IDF’s search and arrest operation in the West Bank city nears its 48th hour.
The operation, during which troops have so far detained hundreds of suspects and seized weapons, began Tuesday, also with an IDF drone strike on terror operatives hurling explosives.
There is no immediate IDF comment on the overnight clashes.
