Eyewitnesses report that as Israel expands its assaults in Palestinian territories, Israeli tanks and forces have entered the city of Hebron on the West Bank. Over the course of a week of attacks against Palestinian fighters, Israel now controls six other Palestinian cities as well. Reports indicate that the most intense clashes have occurred in Jenin, where at least six Palestinians and four Israeli soldiers were killed on Thursday. Confrontations between Israeli forces and armed Palestinians, who have taken refuge inside the birthplace church in Bethlehem, have also continued. A senior Palestinian official stated that since Israel began its military operations last Friday, more than 80 Palestinians have been killed. Israel has declared a ban on media access to all war zones, making it impossible to verify Palestinian claims.
