RAMALLAH, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- At least seven Palestinians were killed during clashes with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, Palestinian medical sources said on Sunday.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that a young man was killed at dawn as a result of an Israeli bombing of a house in the Jenin refugee camp.

Hours earlier, four Palestinians were killed by Israeli army gunfire during confrontations in various places in Jenin, according to the ministry.

The Israeli army said it killed five Palestinians during its operation in the Jenin refugee camp, where it was arresting a Palestinian suspected of killing an Israeli father and son earlier in the year.

In the city of Nablus, a young man was killed after being shot by the Israeli army during clashes, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.

In the city of Al-Bireh, a 16-year-old boy was killed by Israeli army gunfire near the Psigot settlement, said the health ministry.

Israel did not comment immediately on the two incidents.

At least 240 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire in the West Bank since a new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict broke out on Oct. 7, according to WAFA, the official Palestinian news agency.
