West Bank

Israeli forces appeared to have withdrawn from three refugee camps in the occupied West Bank by Sept. 6 morning, after a more-than weeklong military operation that left dozens dead and a trail of destruction.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is personally responsible for the ongoing genocide in Gaza against the Palestinians, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said, blaming the Israeli leader for sabotaging ceasefire negotiations.

The Israeli army has deployed more forces to the northern parts of the occupied West Bank, with its deadly raids entering the second week.

The Israeli army pushed military reinforcement into certain areas in Jenin and Tulkarem, amid fire exchange with Palestinian fighters.

The mayor of Jenin on Sunday compared an ongoing Israeli military operation in the northern occupied West Bank city to an "earthquake," estimating that about 500 million shekels ($135.2 million) of damage had been caused so far.

Palestinian families were forced to evacuate the eastern neighborhood of Jenin in the northern West Bank due to ongoing Israeli military operations.

The death toll from a three-day Israeli raid on the occupied West Bank rose to 20 on Friday, Israel and the Palestinian health ministry said, while violence raged on in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli actions in the West Bank mirror the "systematic brutality" occurring in Gaza, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated on Friday.

Israel carried out an air strike in the occupied West Bank on Friday as its large-scale military operation entered a third day, with both sides reporting at least 16 Palestinians killed.

The U.N. Security Council on Thursday criticized the Israeli military for firing on a World Food Program (WFP) vehicle at a checkpoint, leading the organization to temporarily halt its staff movement in Gaza.

U.S. Deputy Permanent Representative to the U.N., Robert Wood, expressed alarm over the incident during a Council session.

The wide-scale Israeli raids in the West Bank overnight from Tuesday into Wednesday stand in stark contrast to Israel's response to Jewish settler violence in the area, which has surged during the nearly 11-month-long war in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military said its forces killed five Palestinian in the occupied West Bank on Thursday in a second day of raids that have killed 14 in total.

"Following exchanges of fire, the forces eliminated five terrorists who had hidden inside a mosque" in Tulkarem on Thursday morning, the military said.
