Authorities reported that the Israeli military conducted an airstrike in the West Bank city of Jenin on Friday, marking the third day of intense fighting in the Palestinian territory. The Israeli military stated that the strike targeted a 'terrorist cell' during a counterterrorism operation in the area, without providing further details.
While such airstrikes have been common during the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip, they have been infrequent in the West Bank until now. Israel has launched raids across the northern West Bank, resulting in the deaths of 16 individuals, mostly militants, since late Tuesday. Israeli officials claim these operations are aimed at preventing potential attacks, while Palestinians view them as an extension of the conflict in Gaza and an attempt to maintain Israel's military control over the territory.
