At least 10 people have been killed in the raids, and more than 40 wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Dozens have been arrested, Palestinian officials told the Wafa news agency.

At least 10 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 40 injured by Israeli forces during a major operation in the Jenin area in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry says.

As Israel withdraws some of its troops from Gaza during a cease-fire there, it has turned attention to another Palestinian territory — in particular a city with a history of militant activity.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the operation saying that it is intended to “eradicate terrorism” in the area

Hundreds of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank's Jenin refugee camp have started leaving their homes on Thursday after Israeli forces issued an "evacuation order" during a large-scale raid, a Palestinian official said.

The West Bank city has become a hub for extremist factions, particularly Islamic Jihad and Hamas, which use the refugee camp to orchestrate attacks against Israelis. The Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) re-entry into the Jenin refugee camp this Tuesday as part of the Iron Wall operation has once again drawn global attention.
