JAKARTA - A number of Israeli soldiers disguised themselves as doctors, nurses, and civilians while storming a hospital in Jenin city in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The attack, which used firearms with silencers, killed three Palestinians, including two brothers.

Ten Israeli special forces personnel, disguised as doctors, nurses, and civilians, stormed Ibnu Sina Hospital with automatic weapons.

The Zionist state army used silencers to kill three youths, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported, reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Tuesday, January 30.

Three Palestinians killed were identified as Mohammad, Basil Al-Ghazzawi, and Mohammad Jalamna.

A 25-year-old Basil was receiving medical treatment at the hospital when Israeli soldiers attacked, the news agency said.

In a video posted on social media platform X and ended up going viral, Israeli soldiers were seen threatening staff and patients at the hospital by brandishing weapons.

One soldier, dressed all black, was seen forcing Palestinians to knelt with their hands raised.

Panic was seen among those inside the hospital as Israeli soldiers entered with guns in their hands and screamed at the patients.

Palestinian Health Minister Mai Alkaila urged the United Nations and international rights groups to end Israel's relentless crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as protect Palestinian health facilities from various attacks.

Palestinian groups in Jenin have called for a mass strike to protest the killing of the Palestinian.
