At least one other is thought to have been seriously wounded.

The ministry did not provide further details on the fatalities, while the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said they were killed in a drone strike on the Old City.

Videos from inside Jenin’s Old City, in the occupied West Bank, show on Tuesday several bodies lying on the ground, people gathered around them, BBC reported.

At least 275 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire and settler attacks in the occupied Jeruslamen and West Bank, Palestinian officials say, as violence has escalated in the territory since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza on 7 October.

An AFP photographer saw Israeli military vehicles entering Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday and a drone flying above.

"Israel's army is operating inside Jenin Camp – residents filming from inside their houses have shared videos of soldiers moving through the streets in full body armor with their weapons raised", BBC said.

Israeli forces "continue to storm Jenin camp and ambulance crews are prevented from entering to deal with medical cases without prior coordination," the Red Crescent said in a statement.

Jenin city and its refugee camp have seen repeated Israeli raids, with over 200 killed this year including children, even before the war on Gaza.
