The Israeli army is also pressing ahead with a major offensive in Jenin which began more than a week ago. The offensive expanded to Tulkarem four days ago. 

Israel’s war minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that the regime’s forces will remain in the Jenin refugee camp after the ongoing raid there concludes.

“The Jenin refugee camp will not return to what it was – after the operation is completed…,” he said.

The death toll from Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza which began on October 7, 2023, has also surpassed 47,400. Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire earlier this month which went into effect on January 19.
