Israeli forces on Tuesday raided a refugee camp and surrounded a house in an operation in the volatile West Bank city of Jenin that killed at least five Palestinians and wounded nine others, the Palestinian health ministry said.
Israel's Channel 12 television said one of the dead was suspected of shooting two brothers from a Jewish settlement near the Palestinian village of Huwara last week but there was no official confirmation nor immediate details on the operation from the Israeli military.
Footage circulating on social media showed helicopters over a column of military vehicles entering Jenin, one of the major centres of armed Palestinian factions in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Huwara, a Palestinian village near a major road junction where settlers and Palestinians have frequently clashed, has become the latest flashpoint in months of worsening violence in the West Bank.
Overnight on Monday, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians in the village, the scene of a violent rampage last week by dozens of settlers seeking revenge for the shooting of the two Israelis as they sat in their car in traffic.
