JENIN, Tuesday, June 11, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Tuesday evening killed six Palestinians and injured another in a raid in the Kafr Dan village, west of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to the Health Ministry.
The Ministry confirmed that occupation forces gunned down six youths and injured another in the raid into the northern West Bank village.

Meanwhile, local sources said that Israeli special forces sneaked their way into the village, and cordoned off the house of al-Abed family, as army reinforcements were deployed in the village, sparking confrontations.
The soldiers asked a young man inside the house through loudspeakers to turn himself in and fired shoulder-fired missiles towards the house.
A video footage shared online showed an Israeli army helicopter opening fire over the town.
The sources added that the soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching the scene and opened fire at them.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that its medics evacuated the body of a slain Palestinian and provided treatment to another who sustained a critical injury to the head from a live round shot by the Israeli soldiers.
The fatality and serious casualty were rushed to the Jenin Government Hospital, as confirmed by the hospital director Wessam Baker.
