Israeli Forces Raid Jenin, Killing 10 Palestinians

HeadlineJan 22, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, at least 10 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured Tuesday when Israeli forces, backed by helicopter gunships, launched a major offensive on the city of Jenin. Eyewitnesses described seeing bodies in the streets, with ambulances blocked from retrieving the dead and wounded. An estimated 2,000 Palestinian families have been displaced by the fighting. This comes after the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem documented more Israeli settler attacks on Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank, carried out with the “full cooperation” of Israeli soldiers. Video shared by B’Tselem appears to show settlers throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at Palestinians in Sinjil, where six Palestinians were injured over the weekend. In another incident, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 15-year-old Palestinian boy as they escorted rioting settlers through the West Bank town of Sabastiya. B’Tselem says the settler attacks are meant to impose a “price tag” for the Gaza ceasefire deal.
