Israel conducted raids across the occupied West Bank, resulting in the deaths of at least nine Palestinians and the sealing off of the city of Jenin, as reported by Palestinian officials. These raids have been ongoing since Hamas' attack from Gaza on October 7, which sparked the current conflict. Palestinian militant groups engaged in fire exchanges with the Israeli military, with reports of Israeli forces surrounding Jenin, restricting access to hospitals, and disrupting infrastructure.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank stated that Israeli forces obstructed roads leading to hospitals and surrounded medical facilities in Jenin. The Israeli military confirmed operations in Jenin and Tulkarem but did not provide further details. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz called for similar measures in the West Bank, likening the situation to Gaza and emphasizing the need to address the threat effectively.
