*Israel has now killed 83 Palestinians so far this year as it steps up
raids in the occupied West Bank.*

An Israeli army raid has killed four Palestinians, including a teenager, in
the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, Palestinian officials say.

Thursday’s raid – the latest since Israel intensified such operations in
the West Bank last year – was carried out by undercover Israeli forces “who
broke into downtown Jenin”, the Palestinian state news agency Wafa quoted
the Ministry of Health as saying.

The Israeli army said its “security forces are currently operating in the
Jenin refugee camp”.

The Palestinian health ministry identified three of the dead as Youssef
Shreem, 29; Nidal Khazim, 28; and Omar Awadin, 16. The identity of the
fourth person was not immediately known.

Jenin is among the areas in the northern West Bank where Israel has
intensified raids over the past year in an attempt to crack down on growing
armed Palestinian resistance.

Amateur video taken by people in Jenin appeared to show a crowd of
Palestinians surrounding a car that people suspected carried undercover
Israeli forces. Another clip appeared to show Israeli military vehicles
towing the car away.

Thursday’s deaths bring the number of Palestinians killed since the start
of the year to 83 as Israel has stepped up arrest raids in response to a
series of attacks last spring.

Palestinian attacks against Israelis have killed 14 people in 2023.

Last week, Israeli forces killed three Palestinians

in a raid in Jenin, less than 48 hours after six others were killed

in another raid in the city. In January, Israeli soldiers killed nine
Palestinians

including an elderly woman, during a large-scale raid on the Jenin refugee
camp.

More than 170 Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids in 2022, many of
them civilians.
