The Palestinian health ministry reported that Israeli forces killed five people in separate strikes in the Jenin area of the West Bank. A 16-year-old boy was killed and two others were critically wounded in an Israeli air strike in Jenin. Another strike targeted a car in Qabatiya, killing two people, and a third strike killed two more people in central Jenin. The Israeli military confirmed the strikes and stated that they were part of a counterterrorism operation in the area. Violence in the West Bank has escalated since the start of the Gaza war in 2023, with hundreds of Palestinians and dozens of Israelis killed.
