The number of deaths from the escalation of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts in West Bank has reached thirteen in just three days.

Three Palestinians were killed when the car they were traveling in was blown up by an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) near Jenin in occupied West Bank.

The Israeli Army announced that the attack targeted members of a terrorist cell, who were killed. Israeli Defence Minister, Yoav Galand, expressed his satisfaction at the elimination of a group of terrorists, reiterating that Israel will use all means at its disposal in the fight against terrorism.

The airstrike came in the wake of yesterday’s attack on a West Bank Jewish settlement, where two Palestinians killed four Israelis.

The attack on the Jewish settlement of Eli was carried out in retaliation for the Israeli Army’s raid on Jenin on Monday, in which seven Palestinians were killed.
