IDF launches large-scale op. in Jenin; Multiple deaths reported

At least two Palestinians were killed and three others were seriously wounded, as the IDF launched a series of airstrikes on targets in Jenin on Sunday night, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. 

The actual number of casualties was likely higher as bodies may have been buried under rubble and emergency services experienced difficulties extracting bodies and wounded individuals amid the clashes.

The IDF confirmed that it was conducting an "extensive counterterrorism effort throughout the city and in the Jenin refugee camp." 

One of the sites targeted in the strikes was a joint headquarters used by the Palestinian factions in Jenin as an observation post, a gathering place for armed terrorists, a storage site for weapons and explosives and a contact and communication center for operative, according to a joint statement by the IDF and Shin Bet.

•  The death toll of Palestinians during a night operation by Israeli security forces in the city of Jenin in the West Bank has risen to four, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.

Earlier, the department spoke about two dead and ten more wounded.
