Israeli forces kill Palestinian during Jenin raid as UN ‘alarmed’ by West Bank onslaught

Israeli forces kill a Palestinian in their raid on Jenin as the Tel Aviv regime presses ahead with a large-scale onslaught against the occupied West Bank.

Israeli forces on Tuesday handed the body of a Palestinian they had shot dead in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, Al Jazeera said in a report, without giving further details.

Earlier, armored Israeli military vehicles stormed Jenin as part of the current massive raid on the city.

The Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank is bearing the heavy brunt of the occupying entity’s ongoing aggression.

Separately, Israeli forces also shot and wounded at least four other Palestinians near Nablus, including a 13-year-old who was hit in the chest by live fire.

Now in its 43rd day, the large-scale onslaught by the occupying regime's forces has claimed the lives of at least 27 Palestinians in Jenin and its refugee camp.

The ongoing aggression has also led to the forced displacement of residents and widespread destruction of infrastructure and homes, with around 120 houses completely destroyed and dozens more partially damaged.

On Monday, The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk sounded the alarm over Tel Aviv’s military aggression in the occupied West Bank.

“In the West Bank, I am alarmed by the use of military weapons and tactics, including tanks and airstrikes, against Palestinians; the destruction and emptying of refugee camps; the expansion of illegal settlements; the severe restrictions on movement; and the displacement of tens of thousands of people,” he said before the 58th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

Türk also stressed that “Israel’s unilateral actions and threats of annexation in the West Bank, in violation of international law, must stop.”

The Israeli military sustains intensified acts of aggression and destruction across the occupied West Bank.

Meanwhile, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, a Palestinian governmental body dedicated to opposing Israeli settlement expansion and the construction of the so-called separation wall in the occupied Palestinian territories, said in a new report that Israeli forces and settlers carried out 1,705 attacks in February.

Muayyed Shaaban, head of the commission, said that Israeli forces conducted 1,475 of these attacks, while settlers carried out 230, the official Palestinian Wafa news agency reported.

He added that the majority of these attacks were concentrated in Nablus, which saw 300 attacks, followed by al-Khalil with 267 and Ramallah with 263.

According to the report, Israeli forces also carried out 79 demolition operations against Palestinians in February, affecting 156 structures, including 109 inhabited homes.
