Ramallah: Israel’s military operations across the West Bank, which began a week ago, have killed 33 Palestinians and wounded about 140 others, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The fatalities include 19 Palestinians in Jenin, four in Tubas, and seven in Tulkarm, all located in the northern West Bank, as well as three others in Hebron in the south, the Ramallah-based Ministry said on Wednesday in a statement.
Israeli forces continued their operation against the city of Jenin and its camp for the eighth consecutive day on Wednesday, the Palestinian official news agency WAFA reported. WAFA said the operation has caused widespread destruction of infrastructure, including water and electricity networks, as well as damage to civilian property, Xinhua news agency reported.
Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, said on Tuesday that Jenin had been ravaged by violence and destruction. In a post on the social media platform X, Lazzarini called for the “immediate protection of civilians across the West Bank, including in the north,” and demanded that both the Israeli army and Palestinian armed groups “uphold the protection of civilians and provide access to assistance”.
