The Israeli military continues its deadly operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, killing at least 12 Palestinians and wounding 40. Human rights groups accuse the Israeli army of field executions, arrests, and widespread destruction. The operation is seen as a political maneuver by Prime Minister Netanyahu to appease far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
The Israeli army has launched a deadly military offensive in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank for the third consecutive day, resulting in at least 12 fatalities and 40 injuries. Palestinian rights groups have accused the Israeli forces of carrying out field executions and arbitrary arrests during the ongoing military assaults. They also reported widespread destruction of infrastructure, vandalism, and home demolitions.
The Israeli army's continued operation in Jenin, according to reports, is part of a political maneuver by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aimed at appeasing far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who publicly opposed the recent Gaza ceasefire. The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society issued a joint statement on Thursday condemning the Israeli occupation forces' actions, stating that they have detained at least 22 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Wednesday evening.The operation comes amidst heightened tensions in the occupied West Bank, exacerbated by Israel's ongoing war in Gaza. Since October 7, 2023, nearly 47,300 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 111,400 wounded in Gaza. In the occupied West Bank, at least 873 Palestinians have been killed and over 6,700 wounded by Israeli army fire, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. A ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, effective since January 19, has temporarily suspended the Israeli offensive in Gaza. However, the situation remains volatile
