The Israeli army conducted large-scale operations in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin for the third consecutive day, killing at least 12 people, said the official Palestinian news agency WAFA on Thursday.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had launched an operation in the occupied West Bank's Jenin that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said aimed to "eradicate terrorism" in the area.

The Israeli military killed at least seven Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday as the prime minister announced the start of a “large-scale military operation” in the restive city of Jenin.

West Bank terrorist groups are a persistent and evolving security challenge for Israel and the Palestinian Authority. These groups’ numbers, arsenals, and capabilities have expanded dramatically since an initial surge of terrorist activity in June 2021.

Israel has launched a "large-scale" military operation in the West Bank just days after implementing a ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel’s defense minister has announced a series of raids that he says are targeting “terrorism” in the occupied West Bank, as Palestinian officials warned of a “man-made disaster.”

The Israeli military continued its major military campaign across the volatile West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah said 10 people had been killed and at least 40 injured so far.
