The situation in the West Bank has escalated significantly, with Israeli forces conducting extensive operations in several northern cities, including Jenin, Tulkarm, Tubas, and Nablus. According to reports from the Palestinian health ministry, seven bodies were brought to the Tubas governmental hospital, and two others arrived at the Jenin governmental hospital on Wednesday morning.
The Palestinian Red Crescent has reported that at least nine people have been killed across the West Bank, though their initial count was higher. Among the casualties are three individuals killed in a drone strike in Misilya, a village near Jenin, and four others killed in a drone strike in the al-Faraa refugee camp near Tubas. However, local officials suggest that the death toll could be even higher, with the governor of Jenin mentioning that at least 11 people may have been killed.
This wave of violence underscores the ongoing and severe conflict in the region, with significant casualties and the use of drones indicating a particularly intense level of military engagement. The situation is likely fluid, and casualty figures may change as more information becomes available.
