The Ministry confirmed that six young men were gunned down and another was injured in the incursion into the northern West Bank village. The slain youths were identified as Saqr Aref Abed, 28; Ahmad Mohammad Samoudi, 24; Ayman Abdul-Karim Abu Fadaleh, 24; Mohammad Hazza Meri, 32; Mustafa Allam Meri, 21; and Ahmad Mohammad Abu Obeid, 21.

Local sources reported that Israeli special forces infiltrated the village and surrounded the house of the al-Abed family. Army reinforcements were deployed, leading to confrontations with local residents. The soldiers demanded through loudspeakers that a young man inside the house surrender and fired shoulder-launched missiles at the residence.

Video footage shared online showed an Israeli army helicopter opening fire over the town. The sources added that Israeli soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching the scene and fired at them.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that its medics evacuated the body of a slain Palestinian and treated another individual who sustained a critical head injury from a live round fired by Israeli soldiers. The fatality and the injured person were rushed to the Jenin Government Hospital, confirmed by hospital director Wessam Baker.

Additional video footage that went viral showed Ahmad Mohammad Samoudi lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. (ILKHA)
