JENIN, November 19, 2024 (WAFA) – Two Palestinian young men were killed this evening by Israeli occupation forces in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin, north of the occupied West Bank, according to the Ministry of Health.

Local sources reported that Israeli soldiers opened fire on the two men, preventing medical teams of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) from reaching them in time to provide assistance. As a result, the two young men succumbed to their injuries and were later transferred to Jenin Governmental Hospital.

The two young men were identified as Feras al-Jaser and Rami al-Huwaiti. With their killing, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces in Jenin today has risen to five.

This incident comes amid an ongoing Israeli military offensive in the Jenin area, which has been going on since Monday evening. Throughout the assault, Israeli forces have been carrying out raids across the city and the adjacent refugee camp, conducting violent house searches, interrogating residents, and causing significant damage to the city's infrastructure.
