JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Three Palestinians were killed and scores more injured by an Israeli air strike in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday, the Palestinian Red Crescent said. The Israeli military said it had conducted a strike in the area of Jenin but did not give further details.

An Israeli air strike in Jenin, West Bank, resulted in the deaths of three Palestinians, with many more injured. The region is a hotspot for militant groups, primarily Islamic Jihad and Hamas, leading to increased Israeli military operations.

At least six Palestinians were killed and several were injured on Tuesday in an Israeli strike on Jenin in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, a statement by the Palestinian health ministry said. The ministry said the injured were in stable condition,

Thousands attended on Wednesday the funeral procession for six Palestinians killed in an Israeli airstrike in the occupied West Bank. Mourners waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans condemning Israeli atrocities in the occupied territories as they marched to bury the six men in the northern city of Jenin, witnesses said.

Six Palestinian civilians were martyred on Tuesday night in an Israeli airstrike in Jenin refugee camp, north of the occupied West Bank.

A month into a crackdown by Palestinian security forces on militants in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the streets of Jenin refugee camp are deserted, except for a few residents briefly checking on their homes.
