Jenin is a city situated in the north of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where almost 14,000 people lives in a crowded refugee camp. Most of the residents in the refugee camp are descendants of Palestinians dispossessed of their land and homes when the state of Israel was formed in 1948.

Israeli military said that the strike was on the Al Ansar Mosque, located inside the camp, killed several people from Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
