Eighteen Palestinians have been killed and at least 20 others injured by the Israel Defence Forces during an hours-long daytime raid on Jenin city and its refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
In the latest escalation in violence on the West Bank, occurring against the background of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, the IDF said an airstrikehit an armed squad of men in the city.
Graphic footage from the scene of the strike in Jenin showed the bodies of a number of men, some covered, lying on the ground while a paramedic performed cardiac massage on one of those hit.
Detailing what it said was the sequence of events, the IDF said it entered Jenin overnight on Wednesday, uncovering and destroying a number of improvised explosive devices.
The Higher Arab Monitoring Committee said it had planned to hold a protest at 11am in the centre of Nazareth attended by about 50 people and had informed the police the previous day.
On Wednesday, Israel’s high court had rejected a challenge to a police ban on protests in two towns whose populations are largely Israeli citizens of Palestinian origin.
