Hamas said the Israeli army’s “crimes will not go unanswered” after it assassinated three young Palestinian men at Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin city in occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

It said the killings are a “continuation of the occupation’s ongoing crimes against our people from Gaza to Jenin” and pointed out that one of the men was injured and in bed when he was killed.

Of the three men, Hamas confirmed that one was one of its members, and another was with the Jenin Battalion. The third was also a Palestinian fighter.

Palestinian fighters “will not be intimidated by assassinations or weakened by the crimes of the cowardly enemy”, it said.
