Israel's military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin, launched days after a ceasefire took effect in Gaza, has killed at least 12 Palestinians and injured dozens more.
Hundreds of Jenin residents left their homes on Thursday, prompted by messages from drones fitted with loudspeakers, witnesses said, as the Israeli military demolished a number of houses on the third day of a major operation in the occupied West Bank city. The Israeli military launched a raid in the Jenin area the same week that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza started.
As the operation continued, the sound of gunfire and the constant buzz of drones flying overhead could be heard over the refugee camp. In the city, there was little movement on the streets. Footage released by the Israeli military showed troops detonating what appeared to be roadside explosives. The Israeli military said on Thursday that it killed two Palestinian militants near Jenin overnight.
