According to Palestinian health authorities, at least 11 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the northern parts of the occupied West Bank. Of those, five died when an Israeli airstrike hit the al-Far’a refugee camp while six were lost in a drone strike and subsequent clashes in Jenin. The Israeli security forces referred to the operation in Jenin and Tulkarm as a 'counterterrorism operation to thwart terror."

This operation seems to be significant, and it seems to have been carried out through, simultaneous strikes on at least four Palestinian cities: Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, and Tubas. It is the first time since the second intifada (2000-2005) that multiple Palestinian towns have been targeted in such a coordinated way.

The latest updates reveal that several main roads were blocked to prevent access to Jenin, and Israeli soldiers are currently fighting armed conflicts in the city's refugee camp. An Israeli airstrike which was carried out at dawn is supposed to have been targeted at a car near a village close to the city while the Israeli forces are reported to enter a hospital in Jenin and block access to two hospitals in Tulkarm. In Nablus, the Israeli military is focusing on two refugee camps while in Far’a camp near Tubas, medics are trying to reach the injured after an Israeli drone strike.

The Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz supported that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are taking control of the situation in the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps by airing with their full force to destroy the infrastructures he termed as a development of Iranian Islamic terrorism. He accused Iran to be cross-bordering Israel in the West Bank through its support of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The Israeli military could provide some limited information, but it did acknowledge the fact that the IDF, Shin Bet, the Police Border Crew of Israel are the very main forces of the ongoing operation to terrorize and stop Jenin and Tulkarm.
