Israel Launches A Large-Scale Military Operation In The Occupied West Bank, Killing 9 Palestinians

AL-FARAA REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (AP) — Israel has launched a major military operation in the north of the occupied West Bank that has killed nine Palestinians.

Israel says all nine killed are militants and that the operation is aimed at preventing attacks on Israeli civilians.

Palestinian health officials say the Israeli operations into Jenin and Tulkarem have blocked off access to hospitals and ripped up roads and infrastructure in the cities.

Israel has carried out near-daily raids across the West Bank since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack out of Gaza triggered the ongoing war there.

The Palestinian Health Ministry says over 600 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank since the war in Gaza began over 10 months ago.
