According to the Ministry of Health in the West Bank, five people were killed in the operation in the refugee camp and two in Jenin. Three others were killed in a drone attack on their vehicle south of Jenin, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service.
"Since last night, the Israeli army has been fighting with all its might against an Islamist-Iranian terrorist network in the Jenin and Tulkarem refugee camps," wrote Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on X. Iran is working to "build an eastern terror front against Israel in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) by financing and arming terrorists and smuggling advanced weapons through Jordan," he said.
