RAMALLAH, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Residents in the northern West Bank city of Jenin were counting losses among the rubble of their destroyed homes after Israeli forces raided the city and its refugee camp a day earlier.
During the raid, seven Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes and gunfire, according to Palestinian security sources.
The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement on Friday that its soldiers conducted "counterterrorism" activities in the Jenin area.
The Jenin area has witnessed escalating tensions for more than two years, with the intensity further increasing since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict erupted in early October 2023.
