4 Palestinian youths were killed by the Israeli occupation soldiers who stormed the city of Jenin and its camp in the West Bank at dawn today, Monday. Palestinian sources said that the occupation kidnapped the bodies of two of the martyrs.
The Palestinian News Agency quoted medical sources as confirming the martyrdom of the young men: Saleh Ahmad Muhammad Ammar, Amjad Iyad Husayniyeh from Jenin refugee camp, Raed Ziyad Abdul Latif Abu Seif, and Noureddin Abdul Ilah Jarrar from Jenin.
A force of the occupation army stormed Jenin refugee camp around 4 am, where violent clashes erupted between the resistance fighters and the Israeli soldiers.
Activist in the camp, Muhammad Abu Al-Feda Al-Shalabi, said in a phone call to Al-Jazeera Net that dozens of soldiers stormed the camp through private vehicles carrying Palestinian registration plates believed to be ice cream trucks, and raided the homes of citizens and took over their roofs, especially the sniper teams, before other foot forces moved into the camp and between its alleys. There are violent confrontations between the resistance and the soldiers.
