At least 10 killed during Israeli raid in West Bank as Jordan warns region could ‘explode’

Israeli military vehicles operate during a raid in Jenin, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, on Wednesday - (Reuters)

At least 10 Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured in an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank, with neighbouring Jordan’s foreign minister warning that the offensive could lead the West Bank to “explode”.

The raid, in the northern city of Jenin, wounded at least 40 people, Palestinian health officials said, in an operation which Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said would be “extensive and significant”. The Israeli military said the aim of such a large-scale operation was to ensure militant groups “are not rearming a few hundred metres from Israeli communities”.
