The Israeli army announced that in a large-scale operation in the occupied West Bank five more fighters were killed, including a well-known local commander, reported the Associated Press, quoted by BTA.
On the Palestinian side, there is still no confirmation of the death of Mohammed Jaber, known as Abu Shujaa, the commander of the “Islamic Jihad” in the Nur Shams refugee camp on the outskirts of the town of Tulkarem. He became a hero to many Palestinians earlier this year when he was reported killed in an Israeli operation, only to make a surprise appearance at the funeral of other fighters, where he was carried on the shoulders of a jubilant crowd, the AP recalled.< /p>
On Wednesday night, Israel launched a large-scale operation in the West Bank. The radical Palestinian group “Hamas” reported that 10 of its fighters were killed in various locations, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported an 11th casualty, without specifying whether it was a fighter or a civilian.
Violence in the West Bank increased after on October 7 this year “Hamas” carried out an attack from Gaza that ignited the war there.
According to reports from the Palestinian and Israeli sides, cited by DPA, at least 16 people were killed during Israel's large-scale military operation in the northern part of the West Bank, DPA informs.
According to the Palestinian side, most of the victims were fighters.
