Footage shows Palestinian family in car under attack during Israeli army raid in occupied West Bank
Israel launched a major military operation into Jenin on Tuesday and said its forces had "initiated a counterterrorism operation" in the area.
A series of videos show the moment a car carrying a family in the occupied West Bank came under attack during an Israeli raid into the city of Jenin yesterday.
At least seven gunshots are heard as the passengers including children scream before the footage filmed from inside the Kia vehicle shows the car crashing on the side of the road.
Wadah Soubeh, who was inside the car, said his 43-year-old cousin who was driving, Ahmed al Shayeb, was killed in the attack.
The dashboard seen in the footage filmed inside the car shows that it was taken at 1.10pm local time on Tuesday.

Sky News geolocated another video filmed after the attack that shows the abandoned vehicle on the same road around 600m northwest of the Jenin refugee camp.
An Israeli military vehicle can be seen in the background - less than 100m from the car. It's unclear whether that vehicle was involved and how long after the attack this particular video was filmed.
Mr Soubeh said the family left Jenin at the start of the raid and were "heavily shot at".
"When we turned right on the road to Burqin, we drove another 30 or 40 metres. Ahmed al Shayeb said 'oh God'. After he said 'oh God', he stopped breathing," he added.
A funeral was held on Wednesday for Mr al Shayeb, who owned a mobile phone shop in Jenin.
Sky News asked the IDF whether its forces were involved and why it had a vehicle in the area at the time and received the following response: "The IDF arrests individuals wanted for suspected terrorist activities, incitement of terrorism, and terrorists who have carried out or are planning to carry out attacks.
"Additionally, security forces are deployed in the area to ensure the safety of the region and its residents, as well as the security of the State of Israel and its citizens.
"The IDF operates wherever necessary, especially in areas with a high levels of terrorism, such as Jenin. The IDF follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate harm to uninvolved individuals.
"In cases where uninvolved individuals are harmed, the events are investigated and handled accordingly.
"The case mentioned is under review."

At least nine Palestinians were killed on Tuesday, including a 16-year-old, and 40 were wounded, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
The move into Jenin, where the Israeli army has carried out multiple raids and large-scale incursions over recent years, comes just days after the Gaza ceasefire started.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said hundreds of Palestinians were trapped in Jenin Government Hospital and were unable to leave for hours. Videos filmed by the hospital shows bulldozers outside the hospital.

Pic: APThe Israeli military said its forces were trying to detonate explosive devices planted by militants beneath the road outside the hospital in the city of Jenin, and had told patients and doctors not to exit the hospital during the detonations.
Dozens of military bulldozers have carved up tracts of roads in the city.
It was the third major incursion by the Israeli army in less than two years into Jenin, a major stronghold of militant groups including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which said its forces were fighting Israeli troops.
As the raid began, Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces pulled out after having conducted a weeks-long operation to try to reassert control over the refugee camp, dominated by Palestinian factions that are hostile to the PA, which exercises limited governance in parts of the West Bank.
