Palestinian reports: One dead, 8 wounded in IDF airstrikes on Jenin
At least one person has been killed and eight wounded in an Israeli airstrike on the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, according to Palestinian reports.
The Palestinian health ministry says the eight wounded people are in stable condition and receiving treatment at hospitals.
Reuters can not immediately confirm their identities.
A short while ago, the Israel Defense Forces said a fighter jet conducted the strike, a rarity in the West Bank, where violence had been surging long before war in Gaza erupted with Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
Residents of the refugee camp say a house was targeted.
