"The operation is officially over and the soldiers have left the Jenin area," a military spokeswoman said on Wednesday. The raid, Israel's biggest military incursion in years in the occupied Palestenian territory, employed hundreds of Israeli troops as well as drone strikes and army bulldozers that ripped up streets.
“This week’s violence in the occupied West Bank risks spiralling out of control, fuelled by strident political rhetoric, and an escalation in the use of advanced military weaponry by Israel,” Turk said in a statement as the incursion was still taking place.
