Military raid in Jenin kills four Palestinians, Palestinian health ministry says

Four Palestinians, including a teenager, were killed by Israeli fire on Thursday March 16 in Jenin, a Palestinian city in the north of the occupied West Bank where the Israeli army entered in the afternoon, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Twenty-three injured people were also hospitalized, five of them in serious condition, the ministry said. “The security forces [israéliennes] are in operation at the moment in the camp [de réfugiés palestiniens] of Jenin”for its part reported the army in a press release, without further details.

This new drama comes at a time when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems to be sucked into a new inextricable spiral of violence, especially since the entry into office, at the end of December, of one of the most right-wing governments in the history of Israel, under Prime Minister’s conduct Binyamin Netanyahu. The northern West Bank, a stronghold of armed groups where the Israeli army has been increasing operations for almost a year, is concentrating the violence.
