JENIN, Palestinian Territories: Israel pressed on with a large-scale military operation in the occupied West Bank for a fourth day on Saturday, as fierce fighting raged in the nearly 11-month Gaza war.
A Palestinian man raises his arms as he is stopped and searched by Israeli forces during a military operation in the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank on Aug 31, 2024.
An army officer"was moderately injured, and a reservist officer responsible for the security in a nearby community sustained minor injuries", it said in a statement. On Saturday morning, an AFP photographer in Jenin heard ongoing clashes in the city, where the streets were mostly empty save for armoured vehicles, including one that blocked access to the government hospital.
Nineteen Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during army operations over the same period, according to Israeli official figures. On Friday, a medical source at the southern Nasser Hospital said an Israeli strike killed three people near the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis.
Palestinian militants also seized 251 hostages, 103 of whom are still captive in Gaza including 33 the Israeli military says are dead.
