Israeli military helicopters fired missiles at a residential building during the raid, which marked the first use of military aircraft by Israel in the West Bank in more than two decades since 2002.
Israel’s attack in Jenin triggered a wave of condemnation from several countries, including from Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and the European Union.
Tensions have peaked in the occupied West Bank in recent months, amid repeated Israeli attacks on Palestinian towns.
At least 174 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of this year, according to the Health Ministry.
A total of 25 Israelis were also killed in separate attacks during the same period.
