According to local sources, Palestine Red Crescent Society ambulances took the wounded people to the Tubas Turkish Government Hospital, along with the bodies of the five deceased men.
During the same raid, 16-year-old Majed Fida Abu Zeina was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces in the Far’a camp, south of Tubas. The Red Crescent Society said that its crews were able to transfer the child to the hospital, after the occupation forces prevented them from doing so earlier.
The occupation forces, during their raid of the Far’a camp, had fired several bullets at Abu Zeina, abused him, and prevented the ambulance crews from reaching him, and dragged him out of the camp using a military bulldozer, local sources reported.
Israel began a massive military offensive across the West Bank last week that has killed at least 39 Palestinians and wounded 130, with the vast majority of casualties in Jenin.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement on Wednesday that Israeli forces were using “lethal war-like tactics” in the West Bank and that Palestinian children were among those killed.
The military raids, mostly concentrated in Tulkarm and Jenin, constitute Israel’s largest assault on the occupied territory since the second Intifada in the early 2000s.
