The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine released a statement in support of the action:

Occupation kills one in Jenin amid large-scale West Bank confrontations
Palestinian youth Ayman Azouqa was killed early March 27 by occupation forces’ gunfire during confrontations that erupted in Jenin in the occupied West Bank following a military incursion into the city overnight on March 26.
Before succumbing to his wounds, Azouqa was transported by the Palestine Red Crescent Society crews from the al-Marah neighborhood while suffering from severe injuries due to bullet wounds in the chest and thigh.
According to Palestinian journalist Mohammad Hamdan, before medical crews rushed to the scene, the occupation forces had prevented anyone from coming close to Azouqa and left him bleeding.
Hamdan said that Palestinian Resistance fighters engaged in confrontations with Zionist snipers deployed in a neighborhood overlooking wide areas of Jenin and its camp, adding that occupation forces carried out a widespread raid, during which they employed new tactics.
