Israel launches biggest attack on West Bank in decades, kills 11 Palestinians
ANKARA (AA) — The Israeli army killed 11 Palestinians in early Wednesday raids in the northern occupied West Bank.
In a brief statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry said six people in the city of Jenin and five others in Tubas were killed in separate Israeli army incursions.
The Israeli army confirmed it was carrying out military raids in several areas in northern West Bank, including in Jenin, Tubas and Tulkarem.
In separate statements, Palestinian groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, said their fighters were engaged in clashes with Israeli forces in Jenin and Tulkarem.
Over the past few years, Israeli forces have conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which escalated after the war on Gaza began in October last year, which has killed over 40,400 Palestinians.
Palestinians in the West Bank have also been attacked by illegal Israeli settlers.
The new deaths bring toll in the West Bank since Oct. 7 to at least 662 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry.
In a landmark opinion on July 19, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian land unlawful and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
