At least four Palestinians were killed and more than 15 others wounded in Israeli strikes on a vehicle in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday.

Bodies arrived to Jenin Hospital in pieces, its director Wissam Bakr told Palestinian news agency Wafa.

The men killed were not actively participating in confrontations with Israeli forces, a witness said.

Israeli forces fired at ambulances and “prevented teams from reaching the injured” after a vehicle in Jenin was struck, the Palestinian Red Crescent said in a post on X.

The Israeli attacks on Jenin, which began on Monday, caused major damage to roads, infrastructure and civilian property.

In Jenin camp, Israeli bulldozers destroyed buildings and troops damaged electrical transformers, which led to power cuts.

Israeli forces have been carrying out incursions and arrests across the West Bank over the past few days.

The Jenin refugee camp has been a target of Israeli military campaigns, particularly since the war broke out in Gaza on October 7. The Netanyahu government claims the camp is a stronghold of armed factions responsible for committing and plotting attacks against Israel.

On Monday night, four people were killed, including a 14 year-old boy, in Tubas, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. Two 19 year-old men and one 36 year-old man were also killed and while several others were wounded by live ammunition.

On Tuesday, one man was killed in Bethlehem after sustaining severe injuries by Israeli gunfire.

Three men were arrested in the south of Al Khalil, and three others were detained in Bethlehem.

Israel also carried out raids in towns and villages in the north, west and east of Ramallah.

A wounded man was arrested during a raid on his home in Kafran, after Israeli forces searched and vandalised it, Wafa reported.

In the backdrop of the West Bank raids, Israeli attacks on Gaza continued.

A Palestinian man was killed and others injured in an Israeli drone attack on a motorcycle near Zuwaida area in central Gaza overnight, Wafa news agency reported.

Four people were killed after Israeli shelling on a group of citizens in Al Abraj Street in the Tal Al Hawa area in Gaza city, the report said. Two people were killed in air strikes in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Israeli gunboats fired several shells at the port area west of Gaza city, while Israeli artillery fired shells at the Tal Al Hawa neighbourhood.

Day 2, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance

Moment of the day Dinesh Chandimal has inherited a challenging job, after being made Sri Lanka’s Test captain. He responded in perfect fashion, with an easy-natured century against Pakistan. He brought up three figures with a majestic cover drive, which he just stood and admired.

Stat of the day – 33 It took 33 balls for Dilruwan Perera to get off the mark. His time on zero was eventful enough. The Sri Lankan No 7 was given out LBW twice, but managed to have both decisions overturned on review. The TV replays showed both times that he had inside edged the ball onto his pad.

The verdict In the two previous times these two sides have met in Abu Dhabi, the Tests have been drawn. The docile nature of proceedings so far makes that the likely outcome again this time, but both sides will be harbouring thoughts that they can force their way into a winning position.
