"Four martyrs and three wounded, one of whom is very critical, due to the occupation's shelling of two vehicles in the eastern neighbourhood of Jenin," the Red Crescent said in a statement, while the health ministry said there were "four martyrs and seven wounded from occupation gunfire in the town of Aqaba in Tubas district."

The Wafa news agency said the killings occurred after Israeli forces surrounded a house in Aqaba and were confronted by locals.
