The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that the occupation forces "executed three young men at dawn on Tuesday and detained their bodies in the village of Kafr Qud, west of Jenin."
WAFA quoted local sources as saying, "The occupation forces stormed the town with military reinforcements, surrounded a site on one of the village's agricultural lands, and fired live bullets at the three young men, killing them, before seizing their bodies."
The sources added that the Israeli occupation forces bombed a vehicle in the same location, setting it on fire and setting a number of olive trees ablaze around it.
Earlier on Tuesday, Anadolu Agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the Israeli army bombed a cave and a car near the town of Kafr Qud in Jenin. They reported hearing the sounds of gunfire in the area before an Israeli helicopter bombed the cave and car there.
Witnesses reported that Israeli forces removed bodies from the site.
In the same context, the Israeli occupation army announced in a statement that the air force had killed two Palestinians and wounded another before killing him in an airstrike, claiming that they "were planning to carry out an attack."
He added that the special "Yamam" unit "carried out an offensive operation last night, under the direction of the Shin Bet, in the village of Kafr Qud, within the Menashe Brigade, to arrest 'terrorist terrorists who participated in a terrorist cell inside the Jenin camp,'" he said.
This is the first bombing in the West Bank in 9 months.
Since January 21, the Israeli occupation army has launched a large-scale military operation in refugee camps in the northern West Bank (Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams), resulting in the deaths and injuries of dozens of Palestinians, the displacement of all residents, and widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure.
In parallel with the Israeli war of extermination on Gaza since October 7, 2023, the West Bank has witnessed an escalation by the army and settlers, resulting in the martyrdom of 1,062 Palestinians and the injury of approximately 10,000 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 20,000 people, including 1,600 children.
On October 10, a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip slowed the two-year genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation, with American support. The genocide has so far resulted in the martyrdom of 68,527 Palestinians and the injury of 170,395 others, including 93 martyrs and 337 injured in Tel Aviv's violations since the 11th of the same month.
