10 Palestinians said killed as Israeli forces raid West Bank camps

Palestinian reports say 10 people have been killed in fighting in refugee camps near Jenin and Tubas in the northern West Bank, as Israeli forces engage in large scale anti-terror raids across the territory.

The Palestinian health ministry claims that three people were killed in an Israeli drone strike near Jenin.

Reports indicate that Israeli forces are also operating elsewhere in the West Bank, including near Ramallah, Qalqilya and Tulkarem in the central West Bank.

Statements from branches of Hamas’s armed wing in Jenin and Tulkarem carried by Palestinian media claim they are engaging Israeli troops in heavy gunbattles.

Probably one of the biggest operations in Jenin since years on PIJ camp and probably related to increased public threats and latest confrontations, but this seem bigger sounds of bullets and vehicles from east west and north pic.twitter.com/HWBKHL1YRx

The Israeli army said earlier it was carrying out an “operation to thwart terrorism” in Jenin and Tulkarem.
