A 60-year-old woman was reportedly among the dead.
MAJDI MOHAMMED and TIA GOLDENBERGAmid the ongoing Palestine and Israel conflict, Palestinians say Israeli troops killed 9 in a West Bank raid, including a 60-year-old woman.Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians, including a 60-year-old woman, and wounded several others during a raid in a flashpoint area of the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Palestinian health officials said, in the deadliest day in years in the territory.
The Israeli military said it was conducting the rare daytime operation because of intelligence it had received that a militant grouping linked to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has a major foothold in the camp, was set to carry out imminent attacks against Israelis. A gun battle erupted, during which the military said it targeted the militants. At least one of the dead was identified by Palestinians as a militant.
Internationally-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared three days of mourning and ordered flags at half-staff. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority, condemned the violence, calling on the international community to speak out against it. The deaths drew condemnation from neighboring Jordan as well as from the militant Islamic Hamas group that rules the Gaza Strip.The Islamic Jihad branch in the coastal enclave has repeatedly fought against Israel, most recently in a fierce three-day clash last summer that killed dozens of Palestinians and disrupted the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis. Tensions surrounding violence in the West Bank have in the past spilled over to Gaza.
Nearly 150 Palestinians were killed last year, making 2022 the deadliest since 2004, according to the Israeli rights group B'Tselem.

Yes. What if everyone would start to follow Al-Jazeera and receive those daily updates? Would Palestine get the same help as Ukraine does? Whatever. Sort your shit out. no_itsmyturn If no retaliation comes from the West Bank and Gaza over this, the only thing I can surmise is that Iran and Hezbollah have told them not to and stand down because it's not time yet, but having 8 killed is a big loss of honor and a kick in the teeth.
