STORYLINE:
Israeli forces have killed five Palestinians during a raid Tuesday in the occupied West Bank, the military said.

The militant Hamas group later identified three of them as its fighters.

They were killed in the area of Jenin’s refugee camp, in the north of the occupied territory, which has been a flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian violence in recent years, even before the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

The military said the militants shot at them first, drawing return fire that killed a wanted suspect and two others.

The military said it found rifles and military equipment at the site.

It said it also destroyed two facilities used to manufacture explosives and dismantled explosives it said were buried under the roads.

The streets of the West Bank city of Jenin , on which the destruction seemed obvious, appeared empty on Wednesday.

Shops were also closed due to the presence of the Israeli forces in the streets of the city.

Since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack triggered the war in Gaza, Israeli fire has killed at least 784 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 167 children, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Health Ministry.

Most appear to have been militants killed during Israeli raids, but the dead also include people killed during violent protests as well as civilian bystanders.

There has also been a rise in stabbing, shooting and car-ramming attacks against Israelis.

Israel seized the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war, and the Palestinians want it as part of their future state.
