Israeli forces have killed three Palestinians during a raid in the occupied West Bank, and another Palestinian in a separate incident in the blockaded Gaza Strip, as Israel bars entry to thousands of Palestinian labourers from the coastal enclave. The West Bank raid took place on Tuesday in the Jenin refugee camp, with some 20 others also injured. The dead have not yet been named. In Gaza, the Palestinian man killed was identified as Yousef Salem Radwan.
The Israeli military did not confirm the Gaza killing, but said that rioters had gathered next to the fence that separates Gaza from Israel, and that a number of explosive devices were activated by the rioters. The violence came after Israel announced late on Sunday that it would keep the Beit Hanoun crossing closed following an eruption of border protests and a security assessment by defence officials.
