Palestinians marched in a funeral procession carrying the bodies of six men who were killed by Israeli forces on Tuesday (March 7) in the volatile West Bank city of Jenin.
The Israeli forces raided the refugee camp in Jenin and surrounded a house in an operation that killed at least six Palestinians and wounded nine others, the Palestinian health ministry said, health officials said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the individual suspected of the killings in the Jewish settlement, which triggered a violent rampage by settlers against the nearby Palestinian village of Huwara, had been killed by Israeli forces operating "surgically in the heart of the murderers' den" on Tuesday.
The Israeli military identified him as Abdel-Fattah Kharusha, a member of the Islamist group Hamas, and said his two sons had been arrested in a raid at the same time on the city of Nablus, another centre of militant activity in the West Bank.
