Eyewitnesses reported
that an
Israeli aircraft launched a missile at the vehicle, resulting in a
devastating explosion. The Civil Defense swiftly responded, managing to reach
the area and extinguish the raging fire engulfing the vehicle. However, the
occupation forces have prohibited the extraction of the three charred bodies,
Amad News reported.
Furthermore, the
occupation forces have blocked the Jenin-Nazareth road, impeding the access of
ambulance vehicles to the affected area. This obstruction has raised concerns
about the timely provision of medical assistance to those in need.
The Israeli Air Force
carried out the attack on a Palestinian car transporting a group of citizens.
The vehicle was targeted on the bypass road near the Jalama checkpoint in Jenin
during Wednesday evening.
According to the
spokesperson for the Israeli army, the targeted vehicle belonged to Palestinian
militants who had opened fire on an army checkpoint near Jenin. In response, an
Israeli army aircraft swiftly retaliated, aiming to neutralize the imminent
threat posed by the militants.
Hebrew Channel 12 revealed
that the Israeli army utilized a "Zik" drone, marking the first
assassination operation conducted by unmanned aircraft in the West Bank since
approximately 2005.
Preliminary
information suggests that the remote-controlled Israeli drone deliberately
targeted the Palestinian vehicle traveling near Jenin. The aftermath of the
attack revealed the presence of three bodies inside the vehicle, which Israel
has taken custody of. Israeli authorities have confirmed the discovery of
weapons within the car.
Reports also indicate
the occurrence of clashes in the vicinity of the targeted vehicle, adding to
the intensity and volatility of the situation.
Israeli Defense Minister Ya'akov Galant confirmed the successful neutralization of an armed
Palestinian cell. In a Twitter post, Galant expressed the army's determination,
stating, "We have assassinated a cell that carried out shooting operations
against Israeli targets. We will adopt an offensive and preemptive approach,
using all available means against every militant."
