The Israeli military has announced the killing of three Palestinian fighters during its third day of operations in the occupied West Bank, claiming they belonged to Hamas. Witnesses reported an Israeli airstrike on a car in Zababdeh, southeast of Jenin, with Israeli soldiers inspecting the vehicle after the attack. A journalist from AFP witnessed human remains being removed from the car. The Israeli military confirmed the death of Wasem Hazem, who they allege was a commander in Hamas, along with two other suspected militants who were attempting to escape. The incident occurred in cooperation with border police forces and the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal intelligence service. Israel claims Hazem was involved in planning and executing attacks in the West Bank and against Israeli communities. This marks the third consecutive day of Israeli military operations in Jenin and its refugee camp, involving tanks, snipers, and air power. The operation has resulted in at least eight Palestinian deaths, according to health officials, and is part of a wider crackdown in the West Bank.
