Six Palestinians were killed on Monday during an Israeli army raid in the city of Jenin in the West Bank, according to the BBC. The raid followed a deadly attack on a nearby Israeli settlement that killed an Israeli father of 12. The Israeli military said it was searching for the attackers and weapons, and that the Palestinians killed were members of a militant group. However, the Palestinian Authority condemned what it called a “massacre” and accused Israel of using excessive force. The incident comes amid rising tensions in the region, with rocket sirens sounding in southern Israel after the deadly West Bank raid.
