🔴 At least four Palestinians have been killed after the Israeli army launched its biggest military operation in the occupied West Bank in years
Smoke could be seen billowing from wrecked buildings in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank following a major aerial and ground offensive that began overnight Monday.
According to Palestinian media reports, electricity was cut off in some areas and a military bulldozer was seen driving through narrow streets. The raid escalated into gunbattle in the densely packed area that houses around 14,000 people in less than half a square kilometre.The Palestinian Health Ministry said at least four Palestinians were killed and a further 27 people injured.
“What is going on in the refugee camp is real war,” a Palestinian ambulance driver, Khaled Alahmad, told Reuters. Lt-Col Richard Hecht, an Israeli army spokesman, said the operation began just after 1am with an airstrike on a building used by militants for planning attacks. He said the goal of the operation was to destroy and confiscate weapons.“We’re not planning to hold ground,” he said. “We’re acting against specific targets.”
