Israeli troops kill 6, wound 35 in West Bank operation
Ramallah (West Bank), Jan 21 (AP): Israel launched a large military operation in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday that the Palestinian Health Ministry said had killed at least six people and wounded 35.
Israel announced a “significant and broad military operation” against Palestinian Hamas group in the city. Jenin has seen repeated Israeli incursions and gunbattles with Hamas members in recent years, even before Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack ignited the war in Gaza.
The latest operation came just days into a fragile ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza that is supposed to last for six weeks and see 33 Hamas-held hostages released in return for hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
