At least nine Palestinians were killed and 16 wounded during the Israeli operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank, according to the latest Palestinian authorities’ report.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said four people were killed and another 12 injured. Palestinian officials said the dead included a 60-year-old woman.
Palestinian health authorities have stated that at least 16 people were injured in this Israeli operation.
The Israeli move was described by Palestinian officials as a strong attack on the Jenin refugee camp, a stronghold of Palestinian militants in the occupied West Bank, which has been the target of attacks by Israeli security forces in recent months to make arrests.
Israeli media reported that troops were attacked during the operation. At least one of the dead has been identified as a Palestinian militant.
The Israeli army, which has occupied the West Bank since 1967, makes almost daily raids in this Palestinian territory, mainly in the north, in the areas of Jenin and Nablus, strongholds of Palestinian armed factions.
Since last year, the most violent year since 2006, which killed 170 Palestinians, Jenin has been one of the main sources of violence in the occupied West Bank and is home to a large movement of militias linked to various factions , including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. .
