Israeli Military Strikes Jenin Amid Ongoing Conflict

The Israeli military has intensified its operations in the West Bank, particularly in Jenin, conducting drone strikes that have resulted in the deaths of at least 20 Palestinians, including three men killed during a strike in Zababdeh. The Israeli army claims these operations target terrorist cells, particularly those affiliated with Hamas, and are a response to ongoing security threats. However, Palestinian authorities view these actions as an extension of the conflict in Gaza, where over 40,000 Palestinians have reportedly died since the start of hostilities on October 7. The United Nations has called for an immediate cessation of these military operations, emphasizing the need to protect civilians. Reports indicate that more than 663 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the conflict escalated. The situation is compounded by rising concerns about health crises in Gaza amid the ongoing military campaign.
