An Israeli drone strike killed three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Friday, with Israeli forces subsequently withholding their bodies, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The ministry said the Public Authority for Civil Affairs, which serves as the official Palestinian liaison with Israel, informed it that three Palestinians were killed after being targeted by a drone in Jenin and that Israeli forces had taken custody of their bodies.
The victims were identified as Qais Bitawi, 22; Basel Turkman, 26; and Moamen Jaradat, 22, it said.
Earlier, an Israeli drone struck a partially built home in western Jenin, the first aerial strike on the city in nearly 10 months.
The strike targeted the half-built home in the Harsh al-Saada, not a vehicle, as was initially reported by Israeli media.
