An Israeli jet and helicopter carried out air strikes in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin late on Friday that killed at least one Palestinian fighter, the army said. Israel hit what it called an operations centre with several militants inside, and said the strikes killed one, Islam Khamaiseh. The militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad said Khamaiseh was a leader of the Jenin Brigade, a loosely organised armed group based in the Jenin refugee camp. Palestinian health officials reported eight people were wounded in the strike and taken to nearby hospitals.
