Israeli troops on Wednesday entered Nablus in a rare, daytime arrest operation, triggering fighting that killed at least 10 Palestinians and wounded scores of others.
The Associated PressPalestinians clash with Israeli security forces during a raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Wednesday.The raid, which reduced a building to rubble and left a series of shops riddled with bullets, was one of the bloodiest battles in nearly a year of fighting. A 72-year-old man was among the 10 killed, while 102 people were wounded, Palestinian officials said.
The military usually conducts raids at night in what it says is a tactic meant to reduce the risk of civilian casualties. It said it took advantage of a rare window of opportunity after intelligence services tracked down the men in a hideout and warned they posed an imminent threat. Days later, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli arrest raid elsewhere in the West Bank. That was followed by a Palestinian car ramming that killed three Israelis, including two young brothers, in Jerusalem.Israel's government moves to the far-right
