Israeli forces kill Palestinian man in raid on Jenin refugee camp

Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank city of Jenin after conducting a raid on the city’s refugee camp.

Nour Al-Din Fayad, 34, was killed during an Israeli raid on Jenin on Saturday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that medics had transported a man from inside Jenin camp to the hospital after he was shot in the thigh and was “not breathing and had no pulse.”

Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that Fayyad, a resident of Wadi Burqin west of Jenin, tried to enter the Jenin refugee camp before Israeli soldiers opened fire and shot him dead.

Fayad’s death brings the death toll from the Israeli aggression against Jenin city and its refugee camp to 65 since January 21, 2025.

Since the Israeli regime forces launched the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the neighboring West Bank has seen a sharp rise in raids and attacks on the native Palestinian people by the occupation forces, including illegal settlers, resulting in high casualties.

Sexual violence and fear: New reports warn of growing Israeli abuse in West Bank

Reports have warned about the rising gender-based violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Palestinians in the West Bank, including those in the East al-Quds area, face a surge in Israeli military offensives, including raids, abductions, shootings, and excessive use of force, alongside rising attacks by illegal settlers on Palestinians and their property.

Since October 2023, attacks by Israeli forces and illegal settlers have killed at least 1,162 Palestinians and wounded 12,245 others, according to official Palestinian figures.

The Israeli regime approved the construction of 126 illegal settlement units in Jenin on April 29, 2026.

In response, hundreds of former European officials have urged the European Union to stop the Israeli regime’s illegal land expropriation in the occupied West Bank and halt the regime’s controversial E1 settlement plan.
