Israeli forces raided the West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, killing seven Palestinians, including a doctor and a teenager, during a major operation that involved dozens of vehicles and continued into the night, witnesses and Palestinian health authorities said.

The Israeli military said the operation targeted armed militants in the city, which it called a long-standing centre for groups including Hamas, Fatah and the Islamic Jihad, and it said a number of Palestinian gunmen were shot.

"Undercover forces raided the area suddenly and they were firing at any moving body in the street," said ambulance driver Hazim Masarwa. "They were targeting anything moving."

Heavy-tracked armoured bulldozers tore up streets near the centre of the city, protected by Israeli forces in at least 20 vehicles. Photojournalist Amr Manasra says he was hit by shrapnel while he was covering the raid inside the refugee camp.

"We tried to tell them we were journalist and, of course, there was no one in the street except us," he said in an interview Tuesday that was provided to CBC News. "When we got close ... they opened fire directly on us."

Video footage later posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows Manasra in a navy blue press vest rolling onto a stretcher to receive medical help...

The CBC and obviously Thomson Reuters rely on this Palestinian 'Photojournalist' Amr Manasra almost exclusively...

He's pictured with what looks like a very 'severe' injury to his left wrist... Let's all remember to pray for him and hope his hospital stay is short.

But if you check out the 'video' that he posted on X, you will see him laying down and grabbing his buttocks... And he uses that same 'left wrist' (which appears uninjured in the video) to get himself on the stretcher in which they carry him away... Which leads one to believe that this entire story and maybe even his 'severe' left wrist injury may be staged.

Most of the stories out of Gaza are staged. I don’t believe any of them.

Reminds me of the “bullets struck my bed” stories and they showed unfired rounds as proof.

Oh, his poor wrist......

That’s the worst injury they can come up with? It looks staged to me.

Despite all the propaganda and victim baiting, I can assure you that these types of raids are happening several times a week across the “west bank”. I live here and I follow whats going on.

Yes, all of the gazan photo op sob-stories are all staged etc....thats a given, but yes we did raid Jenin yesterday (we’re still there today now) and killed at least 7 terrorists. That part did happen

Last week we raided the town of Tulkarem and killed 9 gunman over the course of the 2 day operation
yes, this footage is real. it’s almost amazing how combat has a video game element to it with drone warfare. unbelievable.

Israel is being attacked for it’s destruction and every player knows it except the Israeli political class. The enemy sure as hell knows it — they can smell the prize. The Euro-left islamo-appeasers know it. The real Israelis who work and breathe the land know it.

I live here and I follow whats going on.

The closest I ever got, was Adana, Turkey, on a TDY from Wiesbaden. I did get to meet Amir Tsarfati In person, in Davao City. I am INTIMATELY familiar with RPV warfare.

The real Israelis who work and breathe the land know it

Perhaps they haven’t read Ezekiel 38,39. There will come a time, when the God of the universe, will fight the battle for Israel, and the rest of the world, will know exactly who intervened on Israel’s behalf. I wonder if this will be the time, when Damascus will become me a ruinous heap? Possibly.

I’ve seen them putting makeup on people to make them look like they were injured. One dead guy was taking puffs from a cigarette.

Probably staged injury but if real it’s what he needed to expect placing himself in the path of a police action.
No sympathy buddy.
I’m tired of fakestinian pretenses.

It isn’t an Israeli occupied city. It’s Israel and Palestinians living there can either live there as Israeli’s or go somewhere else, maybe Jordan.

Does anyone here believe that Hamas would tolerate anyone other than Hamas loyalists to operate as “journalists” in any territory they control?
