Surge in West Bank Violence: Israeli Forces Target Hamas Militants in Deadly Jenin Raid
Israeli security forces conducted a major raid in the city of Jenin, killing between three and five Hamas militants. The raid comes amid escalating violence in the occupied West Bank following recent attacks by Hamas into southern Israel. Tensions have been high since the Israeli military offensive in Gaza, and the mounting death toll in the West Bank raises concerns about the situation spiraling out of control. Hamas's al-Quds Brigades engaged Israeli forces, while the Israeli military said they targeted an armed "terrorist cell." Palestinian health officials accused the IDF of detaining and searching ambulance crews. At least 191 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the October attacks, and over 2,000 have been detained.
