Jenin: Two Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli drone attack in the village of Muthalath Al-Shuhada, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

According to Qatar News Agency, a 40-year-old man suffered severe shrapnel wounds after an armed Israeli drone fired a missile at a site in the village, as reported by the Palestinian news agency (WAFA).

In addition, Director of Jenin Governmental Hospital, Wissam Bakr, confirmed to WAFA that the hospital received a second martyr following the attack.

The Israeli drone targeted the village site amidst the ongoing aggression on the town of Qabatiya and its surrounding area.

The Israeli occupation has persisted with its aggression on the town of Qabatiya for more than seven hours, deploying additional military reinforcements to the town’s entrances. Violent confrontations are reportedly occurring at the Martyrs’ Roundabout at the main entrance to the town, WAFA stated.
