An Israeli drone strike targets 3 Resistance fighters to the northeast of Jenin near the Jalama checkpoint, marking an escalation as such an event has not occurred since 2005.
Israeli occupation forces have targeted and assassinated a group of Palestinian resistance fighters near Jenin, using a military drone marking the first military drone assassination in the occupied West Bank since 2005.
According to Israeli media reports, the attack targeted a civilian car carrying young men with a guided missile, resulting in the deaths of three fighters from different Palestinian brigades.
The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced the names of the three martyred fighters, who were subsequently seized by Israeli forces.
Palestinian sources said that the Israeli occupation forces prevented ambulances from reaching the site of the attack and a fierce armed confrontation erupted.
Hamas denounced the attack and pledged to respond and punish ‘Israel’ for the assassination.
