Ten Palestinians Killed In Israeli Operation In West Bank

At least ten Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids and strikes in several towns in the north of the occupied West Bank, a spokesman for the Red Crescent said Wednesday, two Palestinians were killed in the city of Jenin, four others in a nearby village, and four more in a refugee camp near the town of Tubas and fifteen others were wounded, said the Red Crescent’s Ahmed Jibril.
The Israeli army said early Wednesday it was carrying out an “operation to thwart terrorism in Jenin and Tulkarm” in the northern West Bank as the operation comes two days after Israel said it carried out an air strike on the West Bank that the Palestinian Authority reported killed five people.
Recall that, violence in the West Bank has surged alongside the war in Gaza, with more than 640 Palestinians killed by Israeli troops and settlers since Hamas’s October 7th attack and at least 19 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks during the same period, according to Israeli officials.
