Israeli forces routinely carry out raids in the West Bank, but this one appears to be more extensive than usual.
(The Post News)– According to Palestinian reports, Israeli forces have killed at least 11 Palestinians in the northern part of the occupied West Bank. There were six fatalities from a drone strike and gunfights in Jenin, and five from an airstrike in the al-Far’a refugee camp.
“A counterterrorism operation to thwart terror” is what Israeli security personnel said they were doing in Jenin and Tulkarm. Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, and Tubas are the four Palestinian cities that appear to be the targets of a simultaneous Israeli offensive.This is thought to be the first time that multiple Palestinian cities have been attacked at the same time since the second intifada, a significant uprising that took place in 2000–2005.
According to Palestinian reports, there have been armed skirmishes in the city’s refugee camp, resulting in the closure of the main roadways into Jenin. It is reported that around dawn, an Israeli airstrike targeted a car in a nearby community. According to reports, Israeli forces have shut down two hospitals in Tulkarm and invaded one in Jenin.
Two refugee camps in Nablus are apparently the target of Israeli military raids.Medics in the Far’a camp in Tubas report that following an Israeli drone strike, ambulances are having difficulty getting to the injured. “Operating with full force since last night in the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps to dismantle Iranian-Islamic terror infrastructures established there,” stated Foreign Minister Israel Katz, describes the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
He declared that Iran, a country that supports Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad with weapons, was attempting to create a “new front” against Israel in the West Bank. He stated that they must address the threat in the same way they handle the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, which includes temporarily evacuating Palestinian residents and taking any necessary actions.
While providing few specifics, the Israeli military said in a statement that the Israel Border Police, Shin Bet, and the IDF were “currently conducting a counterterrorism operation to thwart terror in Jenin and Tulkarm.”
