Israel Claims to Have Killed Three Militants Hidden in a Hospital in the West Bank

Israeli forces killed three Palestinian men in a hospital in the city of Jenin in the West Bank on Tuesday, February 10. The Israeli army stated that one of the deceased Palestinians, named 'Mohammad Jalameh,' was associated with the militant group Hamas and was planning an imminent attack on Israel inspired by a recent assault by the group. Palestinian health officials confirmed the deaths of the three men during the Israeli forces' attack on the 'Ibn Sina' hospital in Jenin. Footage purportedly from the hospital's surveillance cameras shows several armed plainclothes officers, some of whom are also in medical uniforms, moving through the hospital corridors. Reuters, having accessed and verified this footage, confirmed the recent attack at the Ibn Sina hospital in the West Bank.
