This grab taken from a UGC video released on social media on January 30, 2024 shows CCTV footage displayed on a computer screen reportedly of a deadly raid by undercover Israeli troops at the Ibn Sina hospital in the northern city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank. Israeli undercover agents, some disguised as medical staff, raided a West Bank hospital on January 30 and shot dead three Palestinian militants, in the first such operation in eight years. The Israeli military said forces entered the hospital -- a major health facility serving Jenin city and its adjacent refugee camp -- to target a "Hamas terrorist cell".
