STORYLINE:
Hundreds attended the funeral of a Palestinian militant killed in an Israeli strike in the occupied West Bank on Saturday.
The men carried the body of Islam Khamaiseh, a member of the Islamic Jihad through the streets of Jenin.
He was killed when an Israeli fighter jet and helicopter carried out airstrikes in Jenin late Friday, the army said.
Israel targeted what it called an operations center with several militants inside, and said the strikes killed Khamaiseh.
The militant group Islamic Jihad said Khamaiseh was a leader of the Jenin Brigade, a loosely organized armed group based in the Jenin refugee camp.
Palestinian health officials reported eight people were wounded in the strike and taken to nearby hospitals.
The military said Khamaiseh was responsible for two shooting attacks on civilians, including one in 2023 that killed an Israeli man near a West Bank settlement.
Jenin is a flashpoint city in the northern West Bank and is frequently raided by Israeli troops.
Airstrikes in the West Bank were rare before the war broke out in Gaza, but since Oct. 7 Israel has stepped up raids and strikes on the territory’s cities and towns, killing more than 500 people.
The past seven months have been one of the deadliest periods for Palestinians in the West Bank since the U.N. began recording data.
