RAMALLAH: Nine Palestinians were killed and at least 15 others were injured by Israeli forces in a raid on Jenin city and refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said on Thursday.

Israel’s military said it was conducting counter-terrorism raids in Jenin, but gave no further details.

At least 174 Palestinians had been killed in the occupied West Bank since the deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas from the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian Health Ministry figures.
