Tue Jan 21 11:44:25 UTC 2025: ## Israeli Raid on Jenin Refugee Camp Leaves Two Palestinians Dead, Dozens Wounded
**JENIN, WEST BANK –** At least two Palestinians were killed and 25 others wounded in an Israeli military operation targeting the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday. The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed the casualties, while the Israeli army stated that soldiers, police, and intelligence services conducted a “counterterrorism action,” offering no further specifics on the operation’s details or the identities of those killed.
The raid, which involved significant firepower, comes just days after a ceasefire in Gaza and follows a week in which an Israeli air strike on the same camp left at least three Palestinians dead. The increased violence in Jenin underscores the ongoing fragility of the situation in the West Bank. Tensions have been high following weeks of Palestinian Authority security operations aimed at reasserting control within the city and refugee camp.
The incident also follows a wave of violence on Monday, where Israeli settlers, under the protection of Israeli forces, reportedly set fire to vehicles and properties, injuring at least 21 Palestinians across the West Bank. The escalating violence raises serious concerns about the potential for further conflict in the region.
