Two Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes in West Bank's Jenin

Palestinian officials have confirmed two people were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the occupied West Bank on Saturday in the Jenin area.

"Two bodies were transferred to Jenin public hospital after the occupiers (Israeli forces) bombed a car in the centre of the city," the Palestinian health ministry said in a statement.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the strike was carried out by an "Israeli drone".

The men were later identified as Rafat Dawasi and Ahmad Abu Ora by the Palestinian Authority's health ministry.

Video footage posted online showed a vehicle on fire in the middle of a street, while some images showed a crowd around a charred car, trying to open the doors.

"There are dead people in the car," shouts a man as a stretcher is brought by rescue workers.

Since October 7, Israel has intensified its violence in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967 and separated geographically from Gaza by Israeli territory.

At least 635 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied territory by Israeli troops or settlers, according to an AFP count based on Palestinian official figures.

Over 10,000 Palestinians have also been detained in the West Bank since.
