Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians, including an elderly woman, on Thursday during a raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The Israeli military said a gun battle with armed Islamic Jihad fighters took place when Israeli special forces entered the camp, a militant stronghold, in an attempt to arrest members of the armed Palestinian group. It's the deadliest single incident in the West Bank since the new Israeli government — the most right-wing in Israel's history — was sworn in a month ago.
The Israeli special forces initially entered the camp undetected by hiding inside a dairy products delivery truck, Palestinian sources say. When they arrived at the safe house where three of the Islamic Jihad operatives were staying, a gunfight ensued, the Israeli military said. At least 20 other Palestinians were injured. No injuries were reported among the Israeli special forces.The Palestinian Presidency in a statement called the Israeli operation "a massacre."
