Israel has launched what it describes as an ‘extensive and significant’ operation in the West Bank camp, home to 25,000 refugees.

At least 10 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 40 injured by Israeli forces during a major operation in the Jenin area in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry says.

The Israeli military launched a large raid in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, killing nine people and injuring 40 others, according to Palestinian health officials.

At least 870 Palestinians have since been killed and more than 6,700 injured by Israeli army fire in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. A ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement took effect Jan. 19 in Gaza, suspending the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave.

A Palestinian official reported shooting and explosions in the flashpoint West Bank town of Jenin as Israeli forces pressed a raid that the military described as a "counter terrorism" operation.

Israel's Defence Minister announced strategic operations in Jenin, aiming to counter Iranian-backed militant groups. The military focuses on lessons learned from Gaza and improvised explosive devices.

The Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) re-entry into the Jenin refugee camp this Tuesday as part of the Iron Wall operation has once again drawn global attention. This marks Israel’s second major incursion into the West Bank following the Summer Camps military operation on August 28, 2024.

In the days since a fragile ceasefire took hold in the Gaza Strip, Israel has launched a major military operation in the occupied West Bank and suspected Jewish settlers have rampaged through two Palestinian towns.
