As Israel withdraws some of its troops from Gaza during a cease-fire there, it has turned attention to another Palestinian territory — in particular a city with a history of militant activity.

At least 10 people have been killed in the raids, and more than 40 wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Dozens have been arrested, Palestinian officials told the Wafa news agency.

The Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) re-entry into the Jenin refugee camp this Tuesday as part of the Iron Wall operation has once again drawn global attention. This marks Israel’s second major incursion into the West Bank following the Summer Camps military operation on August 28, 2024.

At least 10 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.

Israeli forces, drawing on tactics developed in Gaza, have launched a significant military operation in Jenin targeting Iranian-backed militant groups. This marks their third large-scale incursion in two years.

The medical pass starts on the 14th day of the ceasefire, now in its fourth day, Wednesday, and comes as heartbroken Palestinians return to the horror of their destroyed homes

The city of Jenin in the northern West Bank has been a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for decades.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the assault on Jenin would be “extensive and significant,” as the military erected new checkpoints across the West Bank.

Israeli forces launched an operation in Jenin on Tuesday which Palestinian officials said killed 10 people, just days after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian health ministry, based in Ramallah, said the operation had killed eight people, just days after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Red Crescent said its first responders treated seven people injured by live ammunition and that Israeli forces were hindering their access to the area.

Israeli forces are pressing on with a campaign across the West Bank city of Jenin described as a counterterrorism operation. Palestinian witnesses said several houses have been raided and 10 people killed.
