The Palestinian govt has condemned the Thursday operation, calling it a 'dangerous escalation' and said that the desecration of the mosque by some Israeli troops fanned religious tension.
The West Bank, among the territories where Palestinians seek statehood, has experienced a surge of violence in recent months amid expanding Jewish settlements.
Five of the deaths occurred in Jenin, which Israeli military said it raided to detain a Palestinian who is suspected of involvement in a lethal West Bank ambush in August.
Following the gunfight, police found 2 automatic rifles, 2 handguns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, 10 fully loaded magazines and 2 axes on the suspects & in their vehicle.
Israeli army said their forces, sent into Tulkarm to detain suspected militants, came under fire and killed several Palestinian gunmen in the skirmish that followed.
Before the start of Gaza war between Israel and Hamas on 7 October, it was already deadliest year on record for Palestinians in Israeli-occupied West Bank, with about 200 killed.
Calling the decisions 'troubling and alarming,' UN deputy spokesperson stated that UN Chief Guterres reiterates the settlements as flagrant violation of international law.
Palestinians seek to establish independent state in West Bank and Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as their capital. Peace talks that had been brokered by US have been frozen since 2014.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
