News Center- Death toll in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023 has kept rising.

Israeli forces have withdrawn from Jenin in the occupied West Bank following a siege that lasted 10 days, leaving behind a huge devastation. At least 21 people were killed in Jenin city and the refugee camp, the Gaza’s health ministry said in a statement on Friday.

“Residents have expressed concerns over the possibility of a return by Israeli occupation forces, who have previously re-stormed the city and the refugee camp after similar withdrawals. Military checkpoints surrounding Jenin remain active, heightening fears of further incursion,” the Palestinian news agency WAFA said on Friday.

In a post on Facebook, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Israel of transferring to the West Bank its brutal destruction and devastation in the Gaza Strip, as evidenced by the situation in Jenin and Tulkarem, and the refugee camps there.

On August 28, Israel launched “Operation Summer Camps,” the largest military invasion witnessed in the northern West Bank in over two decades.

“The past week was the deadliest for Palestinian civilians in the West Bank since November last year,” United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said in a post on social media platform X. “As the war rages in Gaza, violence and destruction in the West Bank increase by the hour. Many people were killed, including 7 children. This is unacceptable. It must stop now.”
