The Israeli military said its forces killed nine militants while the Palestinian health ministry reported 11 deaths in the West Bank, where violence has surged during the war sparked by Gaza rulers Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel.
JENIN - Israel launched a large-scale operation Wednesday in the occupied West Bank, where the military said it killed Palestinian fighters, as the nearly 11-month-old Gaza war showed no signs of abating.
Early Wednesday, Israel launched coordinated raids across four northern West Bank cities - Jenin, Nablus, Tubas and Tulkarem - where the military has focused much of its recent operations. Guterres"calls for an immediate cessation of these operations," a later statement from his office said. Tulkarem municipal worker Hakim Abu Safiyeh said Israeli forces"attacked the infrastructure, in particular in the city of Tulkarem and the Nur Shams camp" and"destroyed" water and sewage systems.
According to military spokesperson Nadav Shoshani, Wednesday's operation was not"extremely different" from regular activity. "Israel's expansion of its war against Palestinians in the occupied WB is a dangerous escalation that must be stopped," Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on X.Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian movement allied with Hamas which has a strong presence in the northern West Bank, denounced an"open war" by Israel.
