The Palestinian foreign affairs ministry described the killing as a ” field execution” and a “heinous crime,” adding that it is “part of the daily series of killings against our people, with cover and approval at the Israeli political level.”
Dozens of Israeli armored jeeps raided Jenin and its refugee camp earlier that day, before8 am. The raid lasted about an hour.
In the camp, Israeli forces besieged the home of a wanted Palestinian man, identified as Rateb al-Bali, while his family, including his children, were inside, and targeted the house with bullets and missiles before arresting him. Al-Bali has previously spent a year in Israeli prisons under administrative detention without trial or charge.
