At least nine Palestinians, including an elderly woman, were killed in an Israeli raid in the north of the occupied West Bank early Thursday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
its forces had conducted a raid against members of Islamic Jihad who were “heavily involved” in planning and carrying out attacks against Israelis, but it accused the militants of opening fire first.
It said six “terrorists” were killed, while another surrendered, adding that reports of other casualties were being “looked into.”There have been almost daily Israeli operations on targets in the West Bank, but the scale of Thursday’s conflict and the number of fatalities were unusual.
