Israeli strike on West Bank's Jenin kills alleged militant leader, injures 8

At least one person was killed and eight wounded by an Israeli airstrike in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry and the Israeli military said.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank said the eight wounded people were in a stable condition and receiving treatment at hospitals, DW reports.

The Israeli military said a fighter jet carried out the strike and targeted a building that was "used an operations headquarters of the terrorist infrastructure in Jenin."

The attack killed Islam Khamayseh, the Israel Defense Forces said, describing the man as a "key wanted man" in Jenin.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA and Al Jazeera both also reported Khamayseh's death, with Al Jazeera adding that he was a leader of the Jenin Brigade, a militant group believed to have been established in the Jenin refugee camp.
