RAMALLAH, Feb 2: The Palestinian health ministry said Israeli forces killed five people in separate strikes on Saturday in the Jenin area of the occupied West Bank, where they are conducting a major offensive.
An Israeli air strike on an eastern neighbourhood of Jenin killed 16-year-old Ahmad al-Sadi and critically wounded two other people, the ministry said.
A second strike targeted a car, killing two people in the nearby town of Qabatiya, the ministry said, while a third killed two people in central Jenin.
"After the strike that killed the child (Sadi), an Israeli drone strike hit a car in Qabatiya and killed two youths," Jenin governor Kamal Abu al-Rub told AFP.
