Eight Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank.
According to international media reports, a ninth Palestinian, 21-year-old Mohammad Hassanin, was killed by Israeli army fire on Monday night at the northern entrance to the central occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, the health ministry said. At least two dozen Palestinians were injured in the camp, many of them critically.
According to Arab media reports, residents said Israel carried out at least 10 airstrikes in Jenin on Monday night, sending smoke from the ruins of buildings. A convoy of dozens of Israeli armored vehicles also surrounded the refugee camp and launched a ground military operation, causing extensive damage to homes and roads.
Monday’s attacks came amid escalating violence in the West Bank, including the first Israeli drone strikes in the region since 2006, military operations in Jenin and the northern occupied Palestinian territories, and settler attacks on Palestinian villages.
“These are the homemade Palestinian explosives that injured eight Israeli soldiers during an Israeli raid on the Jenin refugee camp last month. This was something that caught the Israeli forces by surprise and used helicopters to fire missiles at the Palestinians. “This is the first incident we have seen in refugee camps and the occupied West Bank in almost 20 years,” Arab media reported.
The army continued its siege of the camp on Monday morning, blocking all entrances with tractors.
In a statement on Monday morning, the Palestinian Authority’s foreign ministry said it “condemns in the strongest terms the barbaric aggression of the occupation against our people in Jenin and its camps” and blamed the Israeli government.
It noted that Israeli aggression “targeted defenseless civilians, including targeting ambulances, crews and health centers, depriving the wounded of treatment, targeting mosques and homes, and destroying infrastructure”.
The ministry said it “called for urgent international and American intervention to stop the aggression immediately and called on the International Criminal Court to break its silence and begin holding Israeli war criminals accountable”.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society urgently called for “safe passage for the evacuation of the wounded and injured”.
“We are coordinating with the Red Cross and international organizations to force Israel to open safe passage. The number of wounded and injured is increasing,” the organization said in a statement on Monday.
