******** soldier ******* during raid in Jenin

An ******** soldier has been ******* during clashes with armed Palestinians in Jenin in the West Bank and another soldier was also seriously wounded, the military said on Saturday evening.

The troops reportedly encountered two armed men during a raid, who, according to the army, belonged to the ************ Islamist organization ******. During an exchange of gunfire with them, both were *******, the military said.

The Ministry of Health in Ramallah confirmed being informed by the ******** authorities about the ******** of two Palestinians following the clashes.

The bodies are in the custody of the army, the ministry said. ****** identified one of the two as a member of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamist organization.

******* launched a military operation in the northern West Bank on Wednesday. The army justified the action by citing a significant increase in attacks on Israelis. The objective is to target both ****** and Islamic ******.

The large-scale military operation in Jenin was continuing, Palestinians said on Saturday.

******** soldiers prevented ************ civil defence workers from bringing water to a hospital, the ************ news agency WAFA reported.

The director of the Jenin Governmental Hospital told the agency that there were fears that shortages of clean water would especially impact patients with kidney ******** who require dialysis treatments.

The affected hospital also said that the power line supplying the clinic had been destroyed. As a result, several departments had to be consolidated, and the use of air conditioning units was halted.

In addition, the service for patients with kidney ******** has been halted. They are being transferred to medical facilities in Nablus until the situation improves, according to reports.

WAFA reported that water pipes supplying the hospital have been damaged by the ******** military operation and that several parts of Jenin have been cut off from water.

There are also said to be power cuts in some places.

******* launched simultaneous military operations in Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas on Wednesday on the grounds that there had been a significant increase in the number of attacks on Israelis.

The ******** army said 20 ************ militants have been ******* in exchanges of ***** and airstrikes since the start of the large-scale operation. Dozens of explosive devices have been destroyed and numerous weapons confiscated, it said.

Three other operations in the West Bank

The ******* Defense Forces (IDF) said earlier Saturday that they had “neutralized” suspects following three security incidents in the West Bank.

The first incident took place late on Friday in the ******** settlement of Karmei Tzur, north of the city of Hebron, the IDF said. “A report was received regarding a ********* *******,” the military said, adding that “the suspect was neutralized at the scene.”

In a separate incident at about 1 am on Saturday (2200 GMT on Friday), a vehicle caught ***** and exploded at a gas station at Gush Etzion Junction in the southern West Bank, south-east of the ************ autonomous city of Bethlehem.

“IDF soldiers who were dispatched to the scene opened ***** and eliminated the ********** who existed the vehicle and attempted to ******* them,” the IDF said. “Security forces are conducting scans in the area to rule out the possibility of additional terrorists.”

The third incident took place at Karmei Tzur’s entrance. According to the IDF, “terrorists attempted to ram a security guard” there in the early hours of Saturday “and infiltrated the community.”

“IDF soldiers were dispatched to the scene and a terrorists was neutralized. Security forces are conducting scans to rule out the possibility of additional terrorists in the area.”

The IDF said it wasn’t clear yet whether the three incidents were connected, adding there were reports of a “number of injuries.”

Background to West Bank *********

The situation in the West Bank has worsened significantly since the start of the Gaza war, which was triggered by the worst massacre in *******’s history, with more than 1,200 *****, carried out by terrorists from ****** and other extremist groups on October 7.

More than 640 Palestinians have been ******* in ******** military operations, confrontations, or their own attacks in the West Bank, according to the Ministry of Health.

********* by ******** settlers against Palestinians has also increased during this *******.

****** authority says many ***** in Gaza after ******** attacks

In the Gaza Strip, 89 people have been ******* in ******** attacks over the past two days, the ******-controlled health authority said on Saturday.

The number of Palestinians ******* in the coastal strip since the beginning of the war has thus risen to 40,691, the authority in Gaza reported.

The figures from the ****** authority cannot currently be independently verified.

The ******** army reported that it was continuing its operations in the central and southern Gaza Strip.

In Gaza City, the troops said they had neutralized several “********** cells” and destroyed “********** and military structures” that posed a threat to the soldiers.

According to statements from the army, they also acted against terrorists in the Tel al-Sultan neighbourhood in Rafah and tThey also found a large quantity of weapons.

******* strikes targets in Lebanon after Hezbollah attacks

The ******** military said early on Saturday that it struck targets in neighbouring Lebanon which it said were the source of a barrage of projectile launches.

The IDF said that sirens sounded late on Friday in the the Western Galilee region in northern ******* following some 40 launches from Lebanon across the border.

The IDF said that some of the projectiles were intercepted while a number of others fell in the area, adding that no injuries were reported.

The military said it “struck the sources of *****” and that the ******** Air Force “struck a number of Hezbollah launchers in southern Lebanon.”

Since the war in the Gaza Strip began in October, there have been daily military confrontations between the ******** army and the pro-Iranian militia Hezbollah in Lebanon.

******* has been bracing itself for a larger ******* following the ******** of Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut on July 30.
