sraeli forces killed at least eight Palestinians and injured dozens on Monday in their latest large-scale raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, deploying hundreds of troops and launching at least 10 drone strikes — the aerial attack on the besieged territory in nearly two decades.
Al Jazeera that “a convoy of dozens of Israeli armored vehicles also surrounded the refugee camp and launched a ground military operation, causing heavy damage to homes and roads.”
Walid al-Omari, Al Jazeera’s Jerusalem bureau chief, said that Israeli soldiers are “enforcing a total siege on the camp, while special forces are operating inside the camp, raiding homes, searching them, and arresting many people.”
The massive raid drew alarm from human rights groups and the United Nations. Lynn Hastings, the U.N.’s humanitarian coordinator in Palestine, early Monday that she was “alarmed by the scale of Israeli forces’ operation in Jenin.”
“Airstrikes were used in the densely populated refugee camp. Several dead and critically wounded. Access to all injured must be ensured,” Hastings added.
