If the international community doesn't hurry up, the West Bank will turn into Gaza as well. People have had enough.

Hamas calls on Palestinians in West Bank ‘to confront occupation forces’

The ongoing crimes in the West Bank, especially in the city and refugee camp of Jenin, “forewarn of an imminent popular storm against these Israeli invasions that have targeted all aspects of Palestinian life”, Haroun Nasser al-Din, member of Hamas’s political bureau, has said.

In a statement, Nasser al-Din said that the group is calling on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to “engage in an intifada in response to these ugly crimes, and to confront occupation forces”.

Yesterday we reported that Israeli gunfire in Jenin killed eight people, including a doctor, a teacher and a student. At least 12 people were wounded in the deadly Israeli raid.

Wafa also reported that several people were detained by Israeli forces, including a woman, after raids on their homes.

Israel has been conducting a violent raid on Jenin since yesterday morning, in which so far at least eight people have been killed, including two children, a doctor and a teacher.


Israeli forces detain 12 Palestinians overnight

According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Commission for Detainees’ Affairs, this includes two women, one of whom is a former detainee who had been released in November 2023 in a Hamas-Israel exchange deal.
