Israel continues its attack on Jenin after two Palestinians were killed in the West Bank News about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Israeli soldiers killed two more Palestinians in the occupied West Bank as they continued a military attack about the city of Jenin and its refugee camp.
The Israeli military confirmed the killings on Thursday, saying the two were linked to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) militant group and were wanted for carrying out shooting in the village of Funduq in Qalqilya province earlier this month, which killed three Israelis and injured six.
The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that Israeli forces involved in the killings surrounded and fired at a house in Burqin before razing it to the ground with a bulldozer.
Israel’s deadly assault on Jenin entered its third day on Thursday, with its forces issuing a forced evacuation order for residents of the city’s refugee camp.
Hundreds of Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp left their homes on Thursday.
“The Israeli army, using loudspeakers on drones and military vehicles, ordered them to evacuate the camp,” Jenin Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub told the AFP news agency.
Since the raids began on Tuesday, at least 12 Palestinians have been killed and more than 40 others wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The raids are part of Israel’s “Iron wall” campaign across the occupied Palestinian territory, launched just days after the ceasefire in Gaza.
