Three Palestinians wounded in an Israeli army raid in the West Bank city of Jenin

May 16. (EUROPE PRESS) –

At least three Palestinians have been injured during an operation carried out this Tuesday by the Israeli Army in the West Bank city of Jenin (north), amid tensions despite the ceasefire recently reached in the Gaza Strip after several days of Israeli shelling and shelling from the enclave.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health has detailed that one of the wounded has been shot in the abdomen, while the other two have bullet wounds to their extremities, as reported by the Palestinian news agency WAFA.

The Israeli Army has pointed out in its account on the social network Twitter that eleven people have been arrested in operations during the last hours in the West Bank and has specified that an operation was launched in Jenin to arrest “a wanted person” for his alleged role in an armed attack against the military.

“During the activity there was an exchange of shots as the military opened fire on armed men who attacked them. Impacts were detected. When the troops were leaving the town, armed men fired at the military vehicle and launched an explosive device “, he pointed out.

A local branch of Islamic Jihad has indicated that its members opened fire on Israeli troops in Jenin. The group has been the target of a campaign of operations and bombings by Israel, including the ‘Shield and Sword’ operation in Gaza, which has left more than 30 Palestinians dead.

On the other hand, the Israeli Army has confirmed a shooting during another operation in the Aqat Jaber refugee camp, an event that has resulted in a wounded Palestinian, according to WAFA. Israeli troops have also detained three other people in the Kadora camp and another five in a refugee camp in Bethlehem.
