Some four Palestinians were killed and 11 others were injured in a strike conducted by the IDF in the Jenin refugee camp early Wednesday morning, according to Palestinian reports.

The IDF stated that the drone strike was carried out after armed terrorists fired and threw explosives at Israeli forces operating in the Jenin refugee camp. No Israeli personnel were injured in the clashes. At least one of the Palestinians killed in the strike was part of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The strike came just a few days after an IAF fighter jet conducted a strike on an underground site used by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad under the al-Ansari Mosque in the Jenin refugee camp.
