Zionist occupation forces (ZOF) killed nine Palestinians and wounded 16 others, some in serious condition, during a raid on Jenin and its refugee camp on Thursday morning.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that an old woman was among those killed in the ZOF raid while 4 of the 16 wounded citizens were in serious condition.

It said that the situation in the refugee camp was very serious and that the ambulance crews could not reach some of the casualties.

Local sources said that ZOF soldiers broke into the Jenin government hospital and fired teargas canisters in the pediatric ward. Many children suffered from the teargas fumes, they added.

For her part, the Minister of Health Mai al-Kailah said she called for an urgent meeting with the Red Cross and the World Health Organization to halt the Israeli aggression.

She also urged the world community and all human rights organizations to immediately intervene and pressure Israel to halt its army’s racist practices in Jenin.

Hebrew media reported that ZOF special forces stormed the Jenin refugee camp to arrest “wanted” Palestinians.

The ZOF raid was met with resistance on the part of armed wings of different factions in the camp, locals reported, adding that the ZOF blocked the entry of ambulance vehicles and cut off the electricity in the camp and its vicinity. (ILKHA)
