Palestinian residents of the Israeli-occupied West Bank expressed shock and despair Friday at the outcome of an Israeli raid on their refugee camp: bullet-riddled walls, destroyed homes and piles of concrete blocks.
“We are another Gaza, especially in the refugee camps,” said Nayef Alaajmeh, a resident of the Nur Shams camp in the city of Tulkarem, as he surveyed the damage following a devastating Israeli raid on the camp that ended late on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Israeli forces launched a widespread “counter-terrorism” operation in several West Bank cities and refugee camps, including Nur Shams.
The Israeli military says it has killed the head of the Palestinian armed group Hamas in Jenin and two other fighters, as a major operation continues for a third day in the north of the occupied West Bank.
Israeli security forces "encountered and eliminated" Wissam Khazem in a vehicle and then carried out air strikes on “two additional terrorists while they attempted to flee”, a statement said.
The Palestinian health ministry said the three men were killed overnight near the town of Zababdeh, south-east of Jenin.
Palestinian media also reported that Israeli forces had withdrawn from Tulkarm after causing severe damage to buildings and infrastructure in the city's refugee camps.
