Israel launched a large military offensive in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, attacking at least three cities from land and air.
Israeli air strikes hit Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas as troops opened fire at Palestinians on the ground.
At least nine Palestinians were killed in the Israel air strikes and from gunfire, according to an initial estimate by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
The assault began just after midnight local time (09:00 PM GMT) after undercover Israeli soldiers entered the Jenin refugee camp and the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm.
Large Israeli forces then raided the two cities and surrounded hospitals, preventing paramedics from reaching them, according to PRCS
Israeli paratroopers parachuted into Tubas and led the assault there, particularly in the Far’a refugee camp, according to Israeli Channel 14
A siege has been imposed on the three cities - Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas - in the northern West Bank.
The Israeli military said it was carrying out a large “counter-terror” operation in Jenin and Tulkarm without elaborating further.
According to Israeli media, a military division is involved in the offensive, including ground troops and the air force.
The assault is the largest conducted by the Israeli military since the 2002 “Defensive Shield” attack at the height of the Second Intifada, according to Israeli Kan News public broadcaster.
Palestinian armed groups in the targeted West Bank cities, including the local chapters of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, said their members were confronting Israeli troops in fire exchanges and using explosive devices

Fuckin monsters.
Chalk up another war crime days after we “sold” them weapons…
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidy
The fucked up part is everyone is so desensitized, it’s not even mentioned in articles that it’s another violation of the Geneva convention.
And it’s not the readers fault for not knowing the Geneva convention off the top of their heads, not many people just know this shit. This is something journalists need to be pointing out so people understand
It’s not desensitization, it’s blatant omission to prevent them from looking bad in western media.
The Middle East Eye is not trying to prevent Israel from looking bad, I can assure you of that.
It’s unbelievable that the Democratic party is still supporting this by sending the military weapons. Israel has only ramped up their ethnic cleansing, first with the genocide in Gaza and now with this in the West Bank
They’re really hoping “or else Trump” is enough to get voters to enable genocide.
Well it’s either that or electing a weirdo who will make it the first of many
Obama turned the Democrats from the party of no-war in the Iraq war era to the party of war and genocide.
They said Obama made the switch…
Meaning he started the violence from the Dem party…
And you’re trying to prove them wrong, by linking a source that shows Obama used violence?
One side does it: guerrilla warfare tactic of heroes!
Other side does it: zomg perfidy warcrimes!
Maybe they don’t mention it because of the blatant hypocrisy.
There is a difference between the victims of occupation and the perpetrators of occupation. Only one side is doing genocide, and the US is still arming that side
This applies to military targets, not civilians.
💯
You’re literally here accusing Israel of the thing that Hamas does, day in, day out as it’s primary strategy.
Tell your friends to stop hiding under people’s houses and using rooms full of kids to hide their military assets.
Reminiscent to the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto by the Germans to execute the “final solution”. How fucking ironic.
Israel will not stop until they kill every Goy in their promised land. Religious fanatics like Israel are the most evil people on this planet.
Just like last month where they had the biggest west bank theft in I think it was thirty something years. Lack of international action while they blatantly ethnically cleanse Gaza sure has emboldened these ethnonationalist scum.
Because of COURSE they did. They’ve learned from the US that all you have to do is pretend that there’s terrorists and you can get away with literally anything. Especially if you’re Israel or the US itself.
By now, everyone who’s been paying attention know that when the fascist apartheid regime says “temporary evacuation”, they mean forced displacement, a war crime.
No, it’s an unconscionable genocide and the international community must stop it.
All of it by design, of course. Israel wants as many Palestinian civilians to die as possible.
