Six Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, including five in a drone strike during an Israeli raid, according to the Palestinian health ministry and the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.

Reuters reports they said the dead included a 13-year-old who died after Israeli forces prevented an ambulance from transferring him to the hospital to receive medical treatment.

One other person was injured in the attack on Al-Sibat neighbourhood in the city of Jenin, WAFA reported.

Jenin’s hospital director told the agency the Palestinians were directly targeted.

Israeli forces are encircling three hospitals in the area, WAFA added.
