Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have assassinated at least five Palestinians during a violent raid on the occupied West Bank city of Jericho.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the IOF had killed in cold blood five Palestinian resistance fighters, including two brothers, and injured many others in a pre-dawn raid on Jericho's Aqabat Jaber refugee camp.

The slain Palestinians have been identified as brothers Rafat Owaidat, 21, and Ibrahim Owaidat, 27, Adham Owaidat, 22, Tha’er Owaidat, 27, and Malek Lafi, 22.

The Israeli occupation troops have frequently been invading the refugee camp since January 27, leading to massive protests that resulted in death cases among Palestinians.
