Nine Palestinians, including elderly woman, dead in Israel West Bank raid
|
 [An Nahar] An Israeli raid on the occupied West Bank's Jenin refugee camp Thursday killed nine Paleostinians including an elderly woman, Paleostinian officials said, also accusing the forces of using tear gas inside a hospital children's ward.
The corpse count rose to "nine deaders including an elderly woman," the health ministry said, with multiple maimed.
In a separate statement, Paleostinian health minister Mai al-Kaila charged that "occupation forces stormed Jenin Government Hospital and intentionally fired tear gas canisters at the pediatric department in the hospital".
She described the situation in the refugee camp as "critical" and said Israeli forces were preventing ambulances from reaching the maimed.
Israel's army declined to comment when asked by AFP about the health minister's tear gas allegation.
The military has said only that its "forces are operating in Jenin".
Thursday's fatalities bring the number of Paleostinians killed in the West Bank so far this year to 29, including fighters and civilians, most of whom were shot by Israeli forces.
Jenin deputy governor Kamal Abu al-Rub told AFP that residents were living in a "real state of war".
"The Israeli army is destroying everything and shooting at everything that moves," he told AFP.
The mounting toll follows the deadliest year in the Paleostinian territory since United Nations
