PA says IDF troops killed man outside Jenin refugee camp

Palestinian Authority health officials say Israeli forces killed a man on the outskirts of the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.

The health ministry in Ramallah identifies the victim as 34-year-old Nour al-Din Kamal Hassan Fayyad, saying he was “killed by occupation forces’ fire in the Jenin camp.”

The Palestinian Red Crescent says its teams in Jenin received a man “with no signs of breathing or pulse from inside Jenin camp after he sustained a live bullet wound to the thigh.”

There was no immediate comment from the IDF on the incident.

Israel launched a major military operation in early 2025 in multiple northern Palestinian refugee camps, where the army says it is seeking to root out terror groups.

The operation, dubbed “Iron Wall,” has targeted Jenin and Tulkarem camps and displaced nearly 40,000 Palestinians, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.

The Israeli military has sealed off the Jenin camp, allowing displaced residents only limited access to check on their homes and belongings.
