But it is also the latest in an ongoing campaign over nearly ten months of almost daily and often deadly Israeli military incursions into Palestinian areas of the West Bank to arrest suspected militants and confiscate weapons. The spokesman says at least six of those killed were armed men — including some who opened fire at troops and others who had tried to flee.Palestinian social media users shared photos of a Palestinian dairy truck which they said Israeli undercover troops used to enter Jenin on Thursday morning without drawing attention.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh called it"a massacre carried out by the Israeli occupation government, in light of suspicious international silence."
