Six people were killed earlier today during an Israeli raid in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, AFP quotes the Palestinian health ministry as saying.

“An Israeli occupation bombardment on a group of citizens killed six people in Jenin,” said the Palestinian Authority-run Ministry of Health, which is based in the West Bank.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported early Sunday that a major deployment of Israeli forces was under way in Jenin.

At least 327 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the conflict broke out, according to a count by the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health.
