According to the American BBC television channel, as a result of the "deadliest in recent years" Israeli military operation in the Palestinian territories it occupied in the West Bank of the Jordan River, nine Palestinians were killed.
The military operation affected the Palestinian city of Jenin. Among the victims of the Israeli army was one elderly woman aged 61 years.

Thus, the Israeli side insists that the purpose of the operation was to arrest the militants of one of the terrorist (recognized as such by Israel) organizations (the Israeli authorities have long been not embarrassed by the fact that they regularly invade the territory of another state recognized by the UN). In Palestine, they called the incident another massacre of the Israeli occupying forces and announced that they were stopping coordination work with Israel on security issues.
Another Palestinian fell victim to the Israeli military in the Palestinian city of Al-Ram near Jerusalem - he was shot dead during protests in the city against the events in Jenin.
In parallel, Israel launched airstrikes in Gaza, according to the Israeli government, in response to rockets fired at Israel, which were intercepted by the country's air defense systems. No casualties or injuries have yet been reported.
