Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man inside the Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said on Tuesday.
“A citizen… was killed by Israeli fire in the Jenin camp, and ambulance crews transported his body to Jenin Government Hospital,” the Ramallah-based ministry said in a statement, without specifying when he was killed.
Contacted by AFP, Israel’s military said it was “checking” reports of the man’s killing.
The director of Jenin’s Government Hospital, Wissam Baker, identified the victim as Nasser al-Saadi, noting that “he arrived dead at the hospital after being shot in the thigh”.
“It appears he bled heavily after being injured before an ambulance was called to transport him to the hospital,” Baker told AFP.
The Palestinian Red Crescent had earlier announced that Israeli forces handed over the body of a 30-year-old from inside the Jenin refugee camp, which is adjacent to the city of Jenin.
Israeli forces have occupied and barred access to the Jenin refugee camp since January 2025, with the operation having caused the displacement of nearly 40,000 people from the camps, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
At least 1,073 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers since the outbreak of Israel’s war on Gaza, according to an AFP tally based on Palestinian Authority data.
Alongside an uptick in raids and settler attacks, Israeli land dispossession and illegal settlement construction have also increased, as part of a government effort to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
