According to Palestinian reports, two people were killed in an Israeli military operation on Thursday night in Jenin in the West Bank. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said they were hit in a drone strike on a house in the city. A third person died from his injuries a short time later. A minor was also among the dead. There was initially no information regarding this from the Israeli army.
According to Palestinian information, the military operation by the Israeli military has been ongoing since Tuesday. The Ministry of Health also announced that a total of ten people were killed and several people were injured.
Meanwhile, the Islamist Hamas continues to fire rockets from the “humanitarian zone” in the Gaza Strip, which is exempt from attacks, according to the Israeli armed forces. Since the protection zone for civilians was established on October 18, 116 rockets have been fired at Israel from the area around the town of Al-Mawasi on the Mediterranean coast, the military said on Wednesday.
38 shells hit the Gaza Strip. “Hamas continues to use the humanitarian zone to carry out terrorist activities, endangering the lives of civilians in the Gaza Strip and Israel,” the armed forces said in a statement.
Since the massacres by the Islamist Hamas and other groups on October 7, the security situation in the West Bank has also deteriorated massively. Raids by the Israeli military take place regularly, especially in the cities of Jenin and Nablus, which are administered by the Palestinian Authority and are considered strongholds of terrorist groups. Violent clashes occur once more and once more. Since October 7, 274 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, the Ministry of Health said.
In 1967, Israel conquered, among other things, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. According to a 1995 agreement, 18 percent of the West Bank, including major cities, is under the sole control of the Palestinian Authority. Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, and the Islamist Hamas took control there by force of arms in 2007. The Palestinians claim the entire West Bank and the Gaza Strip for an independent state with the Arab-dominated eastern part of Jerusalem as its capital.
