Israeli military launches major West Bank operation

At least 11 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the north of the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health officials say.

Five were reportedly killed in an air strike in al-Far’a refugee camp, and six in a drone strike and armed clashes in Jenin. Israeli security forces said they were carrying out “a counterterrorism operation to thwart terror” in Jenin and Tulkarm.

This appears to be a major Israeli operation, with at least four Palestinian cities being targeted at the same time – Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus and Tubas.
