The Israeli military has extended its operations in the Jenin camp of the West Bank, with the recent conflict resulting in the deaths of 33 Palestinians and injuries to around 140 since last Wednesday. According to the Israeli Walla website, the extension was ordered by Defense Minister Yoav Galant based on ongoing intelligence regarding military infrastructure in the area. Reports indicate that the army has neutralized highly explosive devices in Jenin, some weighing over 100 kilograms, while also warning of potential large-scale operations in the southern West Bank due to escalating tensions.
In Tulkarm, the military operation is in its third day, with armed clashes reported between the Israeli forces and local factions, including the Al-Qassam Brigades. The situation has led to significant destruction of infrastructure and property within the camp, with reports of eight Palestinians suffering from suffocation due to fires ignited by detonated explosives. Medical teams have faced challenges in accessing the area due to military restrictions.
The violence has spread to other parts of the West Bank, including Hebron and Ramallah, where occupation forces have conducted multiple raids, resulting in injuries and arrests. The Palestinian Ministry of Health has confirmed the casualties, while the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Authority reported over 180 arrests since the onset of the military campaign. The ongoing unrest highlights the deteriorating security situation in the region.
- The Israeli military's operations in the West Bank have drawn international attention and condemnation, with many human rights organizations calling for an immediate ceasefire and protection for civilians. The situation remains volatile, with both sides facing increasing pressure as clashes continue across various towns and camps. The humanitarian impact is significant, as families are displaced, and access to medical care is severely restricted.
