TEL AVIV, Israel — The Israeli military on Thursday carried out its deadliest operation in the occupied West Bank in years, killing at least nine Palestinians, including a woman in her 60s, according to Palestinian officials.
The Palestinian Authority condemned the raid, at a refugee camp in the city of Jenin, calling the killings a "massacre" and announcing it was cutting off the usual security coordination between Palestinian police and Israeli forces. That's a step it has taken in the past but it could increase the chances of further violence. The Palestinian Authority also said it hoped to take the matter to the United Nations Security Council.
