Hundreds of Israeli troops launched raids in several areas of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, carrying out mass arrests, engaging in gun battles and killing at least 10 Palestinians, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society.
The Israel Defense Forces said counterterrorism operations began overnight focused on the northern West Bank areas of Jenin, Tulkarm and al-Fara’a refugee camp. It said the operation was carried out in coordination with Israel Border Police forces and internal security service and was in its “first phases,” IDF spokesman, Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, said Wednesday.
Eyewitnesses described drones scanning the skies, bulldozers ramming through terrain and armored personnel carriers on the streets as the IDF surrounded hospitals and set up checkpoints, and went house to house making arrests.
