Israel: Eight wounded in car ramming and knife attack on Palestinians World News

Israel launched a drone strike and sent hundreds of soldiers to the refugee camp on Monday, killing 10 and injuring dozens more.

A Palestinian man rammed his vehicle into a crowded bus stop in Israel before committing a knife attack, injuring at least eight people.

The 20-year-old attacker, from the occupied West Bank, was shot dead by an armed civilian in the city of Tel Aviv, police said.

Two hospitals treating the people said at least five people were seriously injured.

Images and video from the scene showed a pickup truck driving on a sidewalk near the shopping center and crashing into a bus stop.

“[The suspect] They then got out of the vehicle and stabbed civilians with sharp objects,” police said.

Khalid al-Bash, a senior official with the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad movement, hailed the attack as “the resistance’s initial and natural response to what is happening in Jenin”.

Hamas claimed the suspects were members of the group and that the attack was in retaliation for an Israeli attack on the refugee camp.

Israel’s internal security agency, Shin Bet, said the man had no previous security record, while police chief Yaakov Shabtai said several people linked to the man had been arrested but not provide details

A spokesman for the Magen David Adom ambulance service said some of the injured had stab wounds.

Ten people, including three children, were killed after Israeli forces attacked a refugee camp in the Palestinian city of Jenin, the United Nations humanitarian office said.

First responders were barred from entering the camp to treat the wounded, the World Health Organization said.

Thousands of people have fled refugee camps in the occupied West Bank after Israel launched a deadly military operation on Monday.

Dozens were injured in the operation Israel launches wave of drone strikes and dispatches hundreds of soldiers.

Israeli forces continued their hunt for Palestinian militants and weapons Tuesday after military bulldozers burst through an alleyway.

Several cities in the West Bank have reportedly announced a general strike on Tuesday in solidarity with Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp, which once housed some 14,000 people.

“We are appalled by the scale of the air and ground operations in Jenin in the occupied West Bank and the airstrikes on a densely populated refugee camp,” said Vanessa Hugnin, a spokeswoman for the UN humanitarian office.

This is Israel’s most intense military operation in the West Bank in nearly 20 years, reminiscent of the military tactics during the second Palestinian intifada in the early 2000s.

The operation comes amid growing domestic pressure for a tougher response to recent attacks on Israeli settlers, including a shooting that killed four Israelis last month.

At 1:14 a.m. Monday, an airstrike by armed drones destroyed a target near a UN-funded school in the center of the Jenin refugee camp.

Israel describes it as a joint operations center “used as an advanced observation and reconnaissance center, a place where armed terrorists congregate before and after terrorist activities, a place for arming weapons and explosives, and a hub for coordination and communication among terrorists”.

A senior aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel was close to completing Operation Jenin.

Islamic Jihad claimed the four dead were its fighters. Another Islamist faction, Hamas, claimed fifth place. It was unclear whether the other five dead, males aged between 17 and 23, were fighters or civilians.

The Israeli military said it had confirmed nine Palestinians were killed by its forces. All were combatants, the statement said.

Offices and businesses across the occupied West Bank are expected to close on Tuesday in response to calls for a general strike to protest the operation, which Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas described as “war”. crime”.
