Jenin/PNN/

A seventh Palestinian young man succumbed to his wounds today a few hours after he had been critically injured in an Israeli airstrike which initially killed six Palestinians, including four siblings, in the northern West Bank province of Jenin, according to medical sources.

Wadia Yaser As'ous, an 18-year-old Palestinian, succumbed to injuries sustained in the Israeli airstrike earlier today, bringing the total number of martyrs to seven after an Israeli drone targeted a group of civilians at the Al-Shuhada Roundabout south of Jenin.

Six Palestinian civilians, including four brothers, were killed in an Israeli drone strike early this morning in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, according to local and medical sources.

In an official statement, the Ministry of Health said the four siblings, Hazza', 27, Rami, 22, Ahmed, 24, and Alaa Najeh Darwish, 29, in addition to Razqallah Nabil Sleiman, 18, and Mohammad Yasser As'ous were killed in the Israeli airstrike.

The six, including the four brothers, are residents of the village of Muthallath ash-Shuhada in the Jenin province.

Additionally, another young man from the village sustained severe injuries in the Israeli strike.

The unfortunate incident followed an incursion by Israeli occupation forces into Jenin last night, leading to confrontations with local youth in various areas of the city.
