An Israeli raid on the West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp Thursday killed four Palestinians including an elderly woman, Palestinian officials said, also accusing the army of using tear gas inside a hospital.
The death toll rose to “four martyrs including an elderly woman,” the health ministry said, adding that 13 others had been injured, including three with critical wounds.
The Palestinian health ministry said that 13 others were injured with live ammunition until 10am local time (07:00 GMT).
Only one of the four people killed has been identified so far: 24-year-old Saeb Issam Zreiqi.
Health officials said the situation on the ground is very difficult, with injuries continuing to pour into hospitals, and Israeli forces obstructing the work of ambulances and medics
