The Israeli army announced that Israeli security forces eliminated two Palestinians on Friday who had attacked police earlier this week. According to the Israeli army, Israeli forces stormed the city of "Nablus" in the West Bank, and "both terrorists were killed during an exchange of fire." WAFA, the official Palestinian news agency, reported that Israeli soldiers besieged the house where the two were hiding and killed them. The armed wing of the "Palestine Liberation Organization" identified the two men as its members, stating that they had carried out the recent attack on Israeli police. Palestinians carry the body of a man who was killed during the Israeli military raid in Nablus, West Bank. The raid on Nablus followed a two-day Israeli operation earlier this week in the densely populated Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. This operation marked a turning point in the ongoing violence between Israel and the Palestinians that has unsettled the West Bank for over a year. The Israeli army stated that it targeted the infrastructure and weapon depots of Palestinian militant groups in Jenin. In this raid, which began with drone strikes late at night, over a thousand Israeli soldiers participated. During the Israeli attack on Jenin, 12 Palestinians, most of whom were militants, were killed, and about a hundred were injured. The raid damaged homes, destroyed streets, and wrecked several vehicles. Following this operation, thousands were evacuated from the refugee camp. Israel claims that all the Palestinians killed were combatants. One Israeli soldier also lost his life during the operation. A bulldozer is clearing debris along a street in the Jenin refugee camp. According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides public services in Gaza and the West Bank, the attack on Jenin was the most severe Israeli operation in two decades. The agency stated that it was forced to establish a temporary medical center because part of its health center was destroyed. It also called for foreign aid to rebuild damaged buildings. The Israeli army claimed that it targeted a command center of militants in Jenin, which was located near a school and an UNRWA medical center. This report is based on a Reuters article.
