Israeli military forces conducted a two-day operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, resulting in the death of at least 10 Palestinians. Thousands of people were displaced and a wide swath of damage was left in its wake. The operation has been widely condemned by international human rights groups.
On July 4th, 2023, a Palestinian man drove a car into a crowded bus stop in Tel Aviv and began stabbing people, wounding eight. Hamas praised the attack as a response to Israel's military operation in the occupied West Bank, which the Israeli government has said is intended to protect its citizens from further attacks. Israeli forces have reported finding and seizing weapons and explosives, as well as destroying tunnels and command posts. An armed civilian shot and killed the assailant at the scene.
On Friday night, five people were killed and several injured in a shooting in the Jewish neighborhood of Neve Yaakov in east Jerusalem. This followed a deadly raid by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, which killed nine Palestinians and a tenth later north of Jerusalem. The incident has sparked international condemnation and raised tensions in the region, with the United Nations calling for an independent investigation and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning the attack and promising to bring the perpetrators to justice.
On Thursday, nine Palestinians, including a 60-year-old woman, were killed and at least 20 injured in a raid by Israeli forces in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The raid was part of a fierce operation in the militant stronghold, and paramedics have struggled to reach the injured due to the intensity of the operation. This has sparked outrage among Palestinians and condemnation from the United Nations, calling for an immediate de-escalation of tensions in the region.
