STORYLINE:
Mourners carried the bodies of Palestinians killed during an Israeli military operation through the streets of the West Bank city of Jenin on Friday, as part of the funeral process.
Palestinian authorities say a total of seven people were killed Friday in Jenin, where the Israeli military said it had been carrying out "counterterrorism activity" that included an airstrike.
The military said Israeli soldiers had "encircled a building where terrorists have barricaded themselves in" and the soldiers had exchanged fire with those inside, while an airstrike had "struck several armed terrorists" in the area.
The Palestinian Health Ministry but did not specify whether the seven people killed had died in the exchange of fire or the airstrike.
The Islamic Jihad militant group named four of the dead as its members.
The clashes in Jenin, a known militant stronghold where the army frequently operates, came a day after an Israeli anti-settlement monitoring group said the government plans to build nearly 5,300 new homes in settlements in the occupied West Bank.
The construction plans revealed by the Peace Now group are part of the hard-line government’s efforts to beef up settlements as part of a strategy of cementing Israel’s control over the West Bank to prevent a future Palestinian state.
The Palestinians seek the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza — areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war — for an independent state.
Violence has spiralled in the West Bank since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says over 500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank since the start of the war. Most have been killed during Israeli raids and violent protests.
