According to Palestinian health sources, Israeli soldiers have murdered 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.
At least four Palestinian cities—Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, and Tubas—are being targeted concurrently in what looks to be a huge 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 daybreak, an Israeli airstrike struck a car in an adjacent community.
According to reports, Israeli forces have shut down two hospitals in Tulkarm and invaded one in Jenin.
Two refugee camps in Nablus are the target of Israeli military raids.
Following an Israeli drone strike, medics in the Far’a camp outside Tubas report that ambulances are having difficulty reaching the injured.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been “operating with full force since last night in the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps to dismantle Iranian-Islamic terror infrastructures established there,” according to Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz.
