Ten Palestinians Killed as Israeli Forces Launch Major Operation in Jenin

Source: BBC

At least ten Palestinians have been killed and nearly 40 injured by Israeli forces during a major operation in the Jenin area in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry says.

Palestinian media reported there were several air strikes as a large number of troops entered the city and its refugee camp, backed by drones, helicopters, and armored bulldozers. The director of Jenin's Government hospital, Dr Wissam Bakr, also told the agency that three doctors and two nurses were among those wounded by Israeli gunfire.

A medical worker at another hospital, al-Amal, told the British charity Medical Aid for Palestinians: "I was called in [on Tuesday] due to the surge of injuries, and the moment I stepped out of the car making my way to the emergency entrance a sniper shot me below the knee. Another doctor was shot in the same spot," they added. "The Israeli army is shooting non-stop."

In another development in the West Bank, dozens of masked Israeli extremists attacked Palestinians in two villages east of Qalqilya, Jinsafut, and al-Funduq, setting fire to Palestinian homes and cars and smashing property. At least 21 Palestinians were injured.

Palestinians will not be able to live in Gaza for decades without massive aid for decades, and there’s no question that Israel will continue to control their access to aid, electricity, the internet, and medical care. Palestinian areas in the West Bank are now being attacked to turn it into rubble as well.

IDF launches major counterterror raid in West Bank’s Jenin, expected to last days
.....

On Sunday, military officials said the Central Command was readying to carry out offensive actions in the West Bank, to prevent Hamas from establishing a foothold in the West Bank in light of the release of members of the terror group in the ceasefire deal.

The offensive plans were being coordinated with the Palestinian Authority, which also fears its rival Hamas gaining power in the West Bank, the officials said.

Hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners are due to be released to the West Bank in the hostage deal and ceasefire with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, including many convicted of deadly terror attacks.

The Tuesday raid came a day after an Israeli reservist soldier was killed and four others were wounded, including a senior officer in serious condition, when they were hit by a roadside bomb in the northern West Bank.

-snip-

The PA had been targeting the so-called Jenin Battalion, made up of operatives affiliated with terror groups such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in a bid to show incoming US President Donald Trump that Ramallah can maintain order in the West Bank, amid its push to take the reins of Gaza from Hamas after the war there.

The IDF, which also staged counterterrorism operations in the northern West Bank in recent months, has said that it supported bolstering the PA forces to help them in the fight against the Jenin Battalion. The military paused its airstrikes on Jenin as PA forces operated there, but ended that policy last week with a pair of airstrikes on terror operatives that killed a dozen people, including civilians.
