The Palestinian Authority health ministry reports at least six dead in the IDF drone strike in the West Bank city of Jenin.

The IDF said it carried out the strike in a joint operation with the Shin Bet, without immediately providing further information.

The strike was in the Jenin refugee camp, which has been overtaken by various armed terror groups over the past year.

This is the first strike that the IDF has conducted in the camp where the PA’s own security forces have been operating for roughly a month, trying to clamp down on terror activity.

The Israeli strike risks undermining the PA effort, analysts warn.
