Israeli military operation continues in the West Bank – News

A commander in the intelligence of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement was killed yesterday in a drone strike in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. The Israeli army announced this when it announced that Osama Jadallah took part in the attack that took place on October 7.

The health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip said on Monday that at least 40,602 people have been killed since the start of the war with Israel. The ministry said in a statement that the toll included 68 deaths in the past 24 hours, while the number of wounded reached 93,855.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that the Israeli army continued its operations in the West Bank for a second day, especially in Jenin and Tulkarm during its withdrawal from Tubas. According to medical sources, 17 people were killed during the Israeli operations in the area, including eight in Jenin, five in Tulkarm, and four in Tubas, while more than 30 people were injured.

A group of families of the hostages held in Gaza left Tel Aviv and reached the border with the Strip, where they called out their loved ones by name over loudspeakers, chanting words of support and affection, Israeli media reported. At one point, some of them broke through the fence and ran toward the border. Rachel Goldberg Paulin, the mother of the hostage Hirsch, shouted his name: “I am his mother.”

“Some Israeli ministers have sent messages of hate and incitement to commit war crimes against the Palestinians, and I believe that the EU must use all the tools at its disposal: but I cannot decide, all I can do is propose and it will be up to the member states to decide,” EU High Representative Josep Borrell said regarding the possibility of imposing sanctions on some Israeli ministers.
