Seven Palestinians were killed and 11 others injured during an Israeli army raid in Qabatiya, which lasted over 10 hours, WAFA news agency reported on Friday. The town of Qabatiya is located in the Jenin governorate.
Israeli troops besieged a home that some of the fighters were in for several hours and fired RPGs at it. An Israeli army drone also bombed a vehicle in Qabatiya near the town’s café complex, killing a number of fighters.
The army also prevented ambulance crews from reaching and rescuing injured Palestinians.
Videos on social media showed Israeli forces throwing the bodies of two Palestinians off a rooftop in Qabatiya.

Three dead Palestinians who had been shot and killed by Israeli forces were seen being carried through the streets by an Israeli bulldozer.
A number of bodies were said to be mutilated by the Israeli army.
“The scenes of fascist enemy soldiers abusing the bodies of three martyrs who were killed in the town of Qabatiya in Jenin, and throwing them off the roof of a house, is a new heinous crime added to the series of Zionist crimes, coming amidst the silence and incapacity of the international community and its institutions,” Palestinian resistance faction the Mujahideen Movement said in a statement on 20 September.
Hamas also condemned the Israeli military brutality in a statement on Thursday night.
The occupied West Bank continues to be subjected to a wide-scale Israeli military operation, which began on 28 August.
Clashes between resistance fighters and Israeli troops are ongoing in several West Bank cities.
“Our brave fighters are engaged in fierce clashes with the Zionist enemy forces storming the vicinity of Rawda College in the city of Nablus, using machine guns and explosive devices,” the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades’ Nablus branch said in a statement early on 20 September.
