Israel drones attack Palestinians in West Bank, and Syrian army positions

(Patria) - Israeli forces on a night raid in the occupied West Bank came under fire from a group of Palestinians, whom the army then targeted with a drone, the Israeli army announced on Wednesday, and medics said two Palestinians were killed, Reuters reported.

The army said armed Palestinians "fired and threw explosive devices" at its forces in the Jenin refugee camp, in the northern West Bank. The army then attacked them with a drone, and "hits were identified," it added.

Palestinian Red Crescent emergency services said two Palestinians were killed and others were injured.

The strike was at least the third use of Israeli air power in the West Bank since violence in the territory escalated following Hamas's attack on October 7 in southern Israel.
The Jenin refugee camp was the focus of a major Israeli military operation earlier this year.

The Israeli army announced that its aircraft hit Syrian army infrastructure and
mortar launchers early on Wednesday, which it described as a response to rocket launches from Syria towards Israel, Reuters reports.

The army said it identified two rocket launches from Syria that fell in open areas late on Tuesday, and responded with artillery fire to the sources of the launches.

Furthermore, the army said its fighter jets "hit military infrastructure and mortar launchers belonging to the Syrian army".

The army did not provide further details and did not accuse the Syrian army of firing the two rockets, which activated air raid sirens on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Tuesday.

There was no comment from Syria.
