Israeli forces have launched a series of attacks on Palestinian camps in the occupied West Bank, including Jenin refugee camp, where at least 20 houses were destroyed. The attacks come as tensions between Israel and Palestine remain high.
Forty-six sick and wounded Palestinians were allowed to leave the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing under a ceasefire deal. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to meet with US President Donald Trump to discuss negotiations for the next phase of the ceasefire.
The Israeli army says at least 50 Palestinians have been killed in the northern West Bank since it started a major operation nearly two weeks ago. Palestinian health officials say several civilians, including a two-year-old girl, have been killed in the attacks.
The Israeli military claims that the structures destroyed in Jenin were used as terrorist infrastructure, but residents say this is not true. The attack on Jenin has been condemned by the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other international organizations.
Jordan’s king will meet with US President Donald Trump next week, while Hamas has released a statement condemning Israeli attacks on Jenin. The situation in the West Bank remains volatile, with many Palestinians living in desperate conditions.
