DUBAI, January 7. /TASS/. At least six Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike at the West Bank city of Jenin on Sunday morning, Al Jazeera reports citing the Palestinian Health Ministry.

The strike was deliberately carried out at a group of people, the Ministry said.

According to the latest data, Israeli attacks at the Gaza Strip resulted in 22,722 people killed in the last three months. The number of people injured during hostilities has already exceeded 58,000.

The situation in the Middle East sharply escalated following an incursion of Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip into Israel on October 7. Hamas has cast the attack as a response to Israeli actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Israel has declared a complete siege of the Gaza Strip and started a military operation there. Israel also strikes parts of Lebanon and Syria in retaliation for bombardments originating from these countries. Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.
