In a terse statement, the Israeli military said only that security forces were conducting an “operation” in the Jenin camp.

The health ministry said a 26-year-old man, Muhammad Wael Ghazawi, was killed when he was shot in the chest. At least five other people were injured by the Israeli fire and the condition of one, who has a wound in the abdomen, is considered serious.
