Hundreds of Palestinians have held the funeral of three young men killed by Israeli forces in an attack on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern part of the West Bank.

The Friday aggression came amid growing tensions in the occupied territories.

Palestinian medical sources identified the victims as 23-year-old Youssef Nasser Salah, Baraa Kamal Lahlouh, 24, and Laith Salah Abu Srour, the same age.

Palestinians marched through the refugee camp after the Friday raid, carrying the bodies of the slain men and calling for undaunted resistance until full liberation of all Palestinian territories, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East al-Quds as its capital.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, reacting to the latest Israeli raid, warned that the Tel Aviv regime “will pay for its crimes” and that Jenin “will remain unbreakable.”

Hamas said such attacks will only strengthen the resolve of Palestinians to keep resistance against the Israeli occupation.

According to an organization representing families of Palestinians killed by Israel, the regime forces have killed 70 Palestinians in the occupied territories since the beginning of the year. The organization says 13 children younger than 18 and five women are among those killed by the regime this year.
