Thousands of residents have fled the area as Israel’s large-scale raid of a refugee camp continues in response to recent attacks
Israeli troops pressed ahead with their hunt for Palestinian militants and weapons in a West Bank refugee camp Tuesday, after military bulldozers tore through alleys and thousands of residents fled to safety. The two-day Palestinian death toll has risen to 10., is one of the most intense military operations in the occupied West Bank in nearly two decades.
Jenin Mayor Nidal Al-Obeidi said around 4,000 Palestinians had fled the Jenin refugee camp, finding accommodation in the homes of relatives and in shelters. Residents said there was no water and electricity in the camp.Meanwhile, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Tuesday that the two-day death toll rose to 10, with two more deaths reported overnight. The Israeli military has claimed all were militants, but did not provide details.
The Jenin camp and an adjacent town of the same name have been a flashpoint since Israeli-Palestinian violence began escalating in spring 2022. It was also a hotbed of Palestinian military activity in the second Palestinian uprising in the early 2000s. Israeli media reported that the army had arrested at least 120 suspected Palestinian militants since Monday.
