Israel's deadly raid on Jenin
Israeli military forces stormed the camp, firing live ammunition, stun grenades and toxic gas, according to the Wafa news agency. Combat helicopters were used for the first time in decades after hours-long fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed fighters.Mohammed Kamanji, a lawyer and field researcher with the Independent Commission for Human Rights, said the latest attack was one of the largest Israeli military incursions into Jenin.
On Wednesday Israeli settlers, under the protection of Israeli military, carried out a brutal attack on the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya in the central occupied West Bank, murdering one Palestinian and wounding dozens of others and burning 30 houses, 60 cars, and dozens of olive trees. “This week’s violence in the occupied West Bank risks spiralling out of control, fuelled by strident political rhetoric, and an escalation in the use of advanced military weaponry by Israel,” Turk said in a statement.
