Abdullah Yacoub, a resident of Jenin's Sibat neighbourhood, narrates the moment that an Israeli drone attack on Jenin on Tuesday morning killed four Palestinians and wounded at least five others during a raid on the city in the northern occupied West Bank.

"The sound shook the entire city. We ran to the site of the explosion to find all the young men on the ground bleeding.”

Wissam Abu Bakr, director of Jenin Hospital, named the dead as Rafiq al-Dabbous, Mahmoud Abu Srour, Bakr Siddiq Zakarneh and Thaer Abu al-Tin.

Dozens of Israeli military vehicles, accompanied by bulldozers, stormed Jenin at dawn, sparking a firefight with Palestinian fighters.

Israeli forces tore up the streets and destroyed many buildings, smashing through the fronts of shops, Arab48 reported.

Violence in the occupied West Bank has escalated since 7 October, when a Hamas-led attack from the Gaza Strip targeted Israel, which resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 Israelis.

Since then, 279 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank. Israel, meanwhile, has waged war on Gaza, killing at least 18,000 Palestinians.
