The Palestinian Ministry of Health released a statement confirming the tragic occurrence. "Six Palestinians were martyred when the Israeli occupation bombed a gathering of citizens in Jenin".
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu News agency that the Israeli army bombed a public gathering in Martyrs' Square near the city of Jenin in the West Bank. The bombing resulted in many casualties, with human remains scattered at the scene, and the injured were taken to Jenin Governmental Hospital in the city.
