Israeli forces have carried out a deadly raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, marking the deadliest operation since the recent conflict in Gaza began. The raid resulted in the death of at least seven Palestinians, including a woman and a disabled man.
The Israeli military stated that the raid was in response to the recent wave of attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces. The operation targeted members of the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, which Israel holds responsible for orchestrating several deadly attacks in recent weeks.
The raid in the Jenin camp, home to around 10,000 Palestinians, sparked outrage and condemnation from the international community. The United Nations and various human rights organizations criticized the Israeli forces for using excessive and disproportionate force in a densely populated civilian area.
The Palestinian Authority condemned the raid as a violation of international law and called on the international community to intervene and hold Israel accountable for the violence. Palestinian officials also accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians and destroying homes during the operation.
The deadly raid in the Jenin refugee camp has heightened tensions in the region, further complicating efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The escalation of violence in the West Bank threatens to further destabilize the already tense situation in the region.
As the death toll continues to rise and the situation remains volatile, calls for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation of violence have intensified. The international community is urging both sides to exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
