Israeli Forces Continue Raids on Occupied West Bank, Including Hospital in Nablus

HeadlineJan 17, 2025

Israeli troops have carried out another day of raids across the occupied West Bank. On Thursday, Israeli forces raided the Askar refugee camp, shooting and wounding three Palestinian teenagers. Separately, Israeli military vehicles entered the grounds of the Arab Evangelical Hospital in Nablus and took up positions in the courtyard. Overnight, Israeli soldiers raided the Tulkarem refugee camp, where there were reports of gunfire amid clashes with Palestinian fighters.

This all follows an Israeli airstrike on the city of Jenin Wednesday that killed six Palestinians and left scores injured. On Thursday, mourners held funeral processions for the dead even as they welcomed the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Jamal al-Zubaidi: “The Jenin refugee camp was supporting the Gaza people during the 15 months war on Gaza, and thus we expect calmer times for Jenin.”

Since October of 2023, near-daily Israeli raids on the West Bank have killed nearly 800 Palestinians and injured 6,700 others. Over 14,000 have been arrested.
