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...
He’s a lying SoS, like all muslims. You can see it in his eyes, no expression of pain, fear, or emotion on his face.
Was he carrying weapons for the terrorists like the grenade carrying journalist who invaded Israel on October 7th.
Ah, Jenin. One of the cities that held street dancing on 9/11.
Let ‘em burn.
we just finished up:
“Jenin counterterror operation ends after 40 hours
11 terrorists killed, 21 injured at end of counterterrorism operation in Jenin. IED laboratory uncovered, 16 explosives destroyed, and large amount of weapons and ammunition seized.”
I’m sure we’ll be back there by next week!
