(CNN) Israeli forces launched a large military operation in Jenin in the northern West Bank overnight Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring 27 others, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
In a statement posted to Telegram in the early hours of Monday morning, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said it launched an extensive counterterrorism effort in the area of the city of Jenin and the Jenin Camp, striking terrorist infrastructure.
Residents in Jenin told CNN they heard explosions and heavy gunfire in the area, while video from the scene showed wounded Palestinians being evacuated by ambulance to Jenin Government Hospital.
Of those injured, seven are critical, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Mahmoud al-Saadi, director of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jenin, said most of the injuries are serious and in the upper part of the body, adding the process of transferring the injured has been difficult.

(6,893 posts)Needs to either annex all of the west bank, and give everyone living there full Israeli citizenship. Or pull out of the WB completely, with the exception of Jerusalem, unilaterally, and leave it to its own devices.
What Israel is doing now is untenable, and cannot continue.
