The bloody attack on Jenin began when a large number of Israeli occupation forces surrounded a house while firing rockets toward it.
As the house was set ablaze, fierce clashes ensued throughout the camp, as fighters from all Resistance groups tried to ease the siege imposed on Palestinian families entrapped in the targeted neighborhood.
The victims were identified as Rafat Omar Khamayseh, 22, Mahmoud Ali Saadi, 23, and Mahmoud Khaled Ararawi, 24.
Meanwhile, a 25-year-old Palestinian, Youssef Salem Radwan, was killed and another 11 Palestinians were wounded when the Israeli military attacked Palestinian protesters near the fence separating Gaza from Israel.
Palestine Chronicle correspondent in Gaza said that Palestinian protesters have gathered near the fence for the last three days, protesting against the repeated raids on Al-Aqsa mosque by illegal Israeli Jewish settlers.
