Israeli forces killed at least 9 Palestinians in Jenin in brutal bombing and ground operations during the biggest military operation in 20 years.
The unstoppable series of terrorism by the Israeli occupying forces continues in Palestine. According to the international media, the Zionist forces carried out ground and air attacks on the camp in the occupied West Bank city of Jinin early in the morning on Monday.
Israeli forces have also targeted homes and residential buildings in airstrikes, while in ground operations they have used extreme force to surround areas. Israeli forces blew up several houses in the occupied West Bank during the attack.
Mahmoud al-Saadi, the director of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jenin, told AFP news agency that “there is a bombardment from the air and an attack from the ground, many houses and places were bombed, smoke is coming from all sides.” ‘
Khalid al-Ahmed, a Palestinian ambulance driver, told Reuters news agency that what is happening in the refugee camp is a real war. According to officials, in a separate incident, a 21-year-old Palestinian was also martyred by Israeli firing near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
According to the Reuters news agency, a person briefed on the army’s plans said that the Israeli army needed at least another 24 hours to complete the operation in Jenin.
The army has so far refused to say how long the operation will take, saying only that it could last more than a day and that forces will remain there as long as necessary.
The White House says the US supports Israel’s right to self-defense. The spokesman has said that the White House is closely monitoring the situation in the West Bank.
“We have seen the reports and are closely monitoring the situation,” a White House spokesman said. We support Israel’s security and the right of its people to defend themselves against Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups.
