“At least nine people were killed in a major Israeli offensive in Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health authorities said on Wednesday. The Israeli military said it was preparing a statement, having earlier released the names of the five Palestinian fighters it killed on Monday in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp. Clashes in the West Bank have risen sharply since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Israel has stepped up operations against armed militant groups in the territory, while Jewish [squatters] have also launched frequent vigilante-style attacks on Palestinian communities. The armed wings of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah said in separate statements their gunmen were detonating bombs against Israeli military vehicles as they fight Israeli forces in the three West Bank areas.” (08/28/24)
